RSS Holds Workshop in Bhopal, Says 'No Need to Speculate on Agenda'

Bhopal: The leaders of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS have gathered for a three-day all-India workshop in Bhopal. But the agenda of the workshop has been kept under wraps and it is taking place under tight security.

From RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to district level workers, 190 participants from across the country are taking part in the workshop. Members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Vidyarthi Parishad, Kisan Sangh, Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh, Vidya Bharti, and some BJP leaders are also in Bhopal to take part in deliberations.

However, no Union or state cabinet minister is attending this meeting.

Though no official communication about deliberations going on inside the RSS camp has been given, there were reports that Article 370, genetically modified crops and other issues are being discussed in the workshop.

But the RSS' Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukha Manmohan Vaidya told reporters on Saturday, "This workshop is not exceptional. Such workshops keep taking place on a regular basis. In this workshop we are not taking any policy level decisions or decision on any issue. I request media not to speculate on the agenda of the meeting. In last two days, we have discussed about RSS ideology, Hindutva and tomorrow which is the last day of the workshop we will be primarily discussing India's development model."
