THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has defended senior RSS functionary Dattatreya Hosabale’s remarks advocating for a dialogue window with Pakistan, saying he was talking about the people of the neighbouring country.
Responding to a question about the RSS’ view on remarks made by Hosabale in an interview to PTI Videos in May, Bhagwat said the organisation will follow the union government’s policy regarding the state of Pakistan.
“But there are a lot of people in Pakistan who believe the partition of Bharat was wrong and many journalists there praise the RSS and its work. There is a distinct undercurrent there of people being anti-Pakistan and against the two-nation theory and they say living together was better,” he said during an interactive session held here as part of the centenary celebration of the RSS on Saturday
