A UK Member of Parliament defended the London visit of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, saying he was “pleased to listen to his thoughts and ideas,” after the trip attracted criticism in the United States.
Bhagwat’s stop in London is part of the RSS’s global outreach programme marking the organization’s centenary, following earlier visits to the United States and Canada.
The MP’s comments came amid a backlash in the US where some groups questioned the RSS’s activities and ideological stance. The MP stressed the importance of engaging with diverse perspectives.
The RSS, a Hindu nationalist volunteer organization founded in 1925, has been expanding its international outreach as part of its centenary celebrations, holding meetings with community leaders and diaspora groups.
