We never pressurise anyone to convert to Hinduism: RSS

January 03, 2015 16:35

Defending the controversial ghar wapsi program, senior RSS leader Manmohan Vaidya today said 'conversion' is a wrong term to be used for'home coming'.

"Conversion is not an appropriate word for ghar-wapsi. This is not conversion. This is a home coming for those who have natural urge to reconnect with their roots," said Vaidya, Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Prachar Pramukh of RSS.

"So many Muslims and Christians come to our shakhas. We never pressurise them to convert to Hinduism. Our point of view or ideology is same. Our ancestors were also same. So we believe all are Hindus. Ghar wapsi is a natural process that has been running for a long time," he told reporters on the second day of RSS workers' conclave in Ahmedabad.
