If we follow Ambedkar's advice on reservation, there is no problem: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat says people should 'pass on benefits' to others

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, addressing a youth interaction summit, emphasised that affirmative action policies must remain active until social discrimination is completely eradicated from society.

He remarked that growing demands for categorisation and recent judicial pointers indicate an organic shift in how reservation benefits are distributed.
