“Without Valmiki, the world would not have known Ram”, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat during a Valmiki Jayanti programme in Kanpur on Sunday. As part of the Sangh’s strategic outreach to Dalits under its social inclusion programme, Mr. Bhagwat said the RSS was with all those who worshipped and preached Valmiki. “ Poori Takat Se Aapke Sath Khade Rahenge,” he added.
Addressing the public gathering, the RSS chief urged the audiences — mostly from the SC community — to keep friendship with Swayamsevaks, attend ‘Shakha’ and have continuous dialogue with the Sangh.
“If we remain united and work together for the upliftment of the nation, there will be a day when Valmiki Jayanti will be celebrated internationally and this occasion will get place in world organisations,” said Mr. Bhagwat.
