On a weeklong state visit, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat today discussed the functioning of the PDP-BJP government in J&K with the local leadership.
Although formal discussions about “achievements” of this regime would be discussed in the national executive meeting of the RSS beginning July 18, Bhagwat received feedback from the local leadership, which is in favour of this “unique” alliance.
Besides Bhagwat, other top leaders of the RSS, including Sarakaryavah (general secretary), Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi,
Dattatreya Hosabale, Suresh Soni and Dr Krishna Gopal, sahasarakaryavahs (joint general secretaries), have already arrived in Jammu for finalising the agenda for the highest apex body, Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha meeting.
Sources said as the RSS had for the first time chosen Jammu as the venue for its highest apex body meeting, discussions on J&K would be on the top of the agenda.
“After reaching Jammu this morning, the RSS chief discussed security scenario and other related issues with the local leadership of the Sangh Parivar,” a source said, adding that the top brass of the RSS also participated in the meeting.
Sources said the Kashmir agenda in the proposed apex body would be finalised only after the RSS top brass would get feedback about the performance of the coalition government in general and BJP ministers in particular. Some offshoots of the Sangh Parivar have expressed reservation about the functioning of the PDP-BJP regime in J&K. VHP firebrand leader Parveen Togadia has already demanded dismissal of the Mehbooba Mufti government in which the BJP was equal partner. Earlier, Bhagwat inaugurated the newly constructed office of the RSS where the apex body meeting will be held. Local leaders of the RSS – Ramesh Pappa, Brig Suchet Singh (retd) and Parshotam Dedechi – were also present.
