‘Have to take PoK back’: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat talks oneness of India
Bhopal: On the concluding day of his two-day visit to the BJP-ruled state’s Vindhya region, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed a gathering in Satna district on Sunday, emphasising the oneness of India as a unified nation.
Bhagwat expressed his happiness that many Sindhi brothers had chosen to stay in undivided India instead of migrating to Pakistan, emphasising the importance of passing this message on to the new generation. He highlighted that, despite being separated by circumstances, the original "home" and their current "home" are not separate.
“The whole of India is one home. But someone has usurped one room of our house, where we kept our table, chair and clothes. We have to take it back,” The New Indian Express quoted the RSS chief as saying.
Calling for unity, he pointed out that everyone is one—Sanatanis and Hindus alike. Bhagwat explained that the British had divided the people by presenting them with a broken mirror, but now, to unite, they must look into a clear and positive reflection. By embracing spiritual traditions, he assured, they would undoubtedly come together as one.
The RSS chief asserted that even those who openly reject being identified as Hindus are still recognised globally as having originated from Hinduism or are referred to as Hindu or Hindawi. He urged people to not forsake their religion and traditions in pursuit of personal desires. “Instead, abandon your ego and recognise your own self. If we carry forward the self of the country, all our own self-interests will be fulfilled,” he said.
Amid growing controversy over languages in the country, he offered a three-language mantra for every citizen. Speaking at the inauguration of the newly constructed Baba Mehar Shah Darbar building, Bhagwat highlighted that all languages in India are national languages, stating that every citizen should know at least three languages: their home language (mother tongue), the state language, and a national language.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
