Power and tact needed in Kashmir: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat

March 15, 2018 22:29

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday called for using strength and tact to counter "forces seeking to divide the people" of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and said trouble-makers only understood the language of power.

There was need for "shakti" (power) and "yukti" (tact) to ensure that "truth prevails", Bhagwat said.

The Indian Army, with its "efforts, sacrifices and dedication", had maintained "shakti", which was needed because trouble-makers "only understand the language of power", he said.

Stressing that Kashmir was an integral part of India, he said the people of the Indian sub-continent belonged to one nation and had the same DNA.

"The Kashmir problem should not be viewed as a problem...The root of the problem is that we have forgotten our unity and that Bharat is one (nation)," Bhagwat said.
