Sangh Gives Complete Support To Reservations Provided In Constitution: Mohan Bhagwat

Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Wednesday (7 September) said that reservations should persist as long as discrimination remains prevalent in society.

Speaking at an event in Nagpur, Bhagwat highlighted the existence of invisible discrimination in society.

“We kept our own fellow human beings behind in the social system. We did not care for them, and it continued for 2000 years. Until we provide them equality, some special remedies have to be there, and reservations is one of them," Bhagwat was quoted as saying by PTI.

"Hence, reservations have to continue till there is such discrimination. We at the RSS give all support to the reservations provided in the Constitution,” he said.

It is about giving respect and not just about ensuring financial or political equality, the RSS chief further said.

He also stated that if certain sections of society have endured discrimination for 2000 years, those who have not faced discrimination should be willing to endure some difficulties for 200 more years.
