Those who seek to cause harm to society, nation must be dealt with: RSS chief
Kathua (Jammu and Kashmir) (PTI): RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that those who seek to cause harm to society and the country must be dealt with.
Bhagwat at a gathering of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) members here in Jammu and Kashmir also underlined the importance of being non-violent, compassionate, resilient and robust.
Those, who are out to do harm or break society and the nation, whichever method is needed to deal with them, will have to be taken, the RSS chief said while stressing on non-violence.
He said that like money is donated to help the poor, power should be used to safeguard the weak.
"Money is donated to help the poor and power is used to protect the weak. This should be instilled in every individual, both from a social and national perspective," Bhagwat said.
"These are values embedded in our religion. There's no disparity," he said.
Bhagwat, however, said that where the weak need to be protected from the cruel, one must be prepared to wield strength when necessary.
"In the world, the weak have to be protected from the cruel, then weapon is to be taken in the hands" he said.
In this regard, it is essential to contemplate the safety and security of all within the nation, he said.
The RSS chief also paid floral tributes to Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookherjee at Kathua chowk and offered prayers at a temple.
He visited Jakhbud in the outskirts of the town and unveiled a statue of Bharat Mata.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
