Border Bonding
In its recently concluded Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal Baithak, the RSS decided to focus its energies on stopping migration from border areas. It was discussed during the meeting, which was attended by all senior Sangh leaders and representatives of its affiliates, that RSS workers should fan out to border areas and work on ensuring livelihood for the people staying there. The workers have also been asked to instill the feeling of patriotism among the border people. For this the organisation has also tied up with the armed forces and the border guarding forces. RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said on the final day of the meeting, “As long as border people are alert, the nation will remain secure.”
