The all-India executive committee of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS started its three-day meeting at the Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra where a resolution on the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh would be passed, said a top leader of the outfit.

Amid the chants of Vedic hymns, the session began at the kendra here. Sar Sangh Chalak (RSS chief) Mohan Bhagwat and Sar Karyavah (RSS general secretary) Dattatreya Hosabale, along with more than 350 organising secretaries from across the country, are attending this annual event.

"Today, the executive committee meeting of the RSS started here. We will deliberate on the current status of the Sangh work, our future plans and also the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh," the RSS Sah Prachar Pramukh, Narendra Thakur, told reporters ahead of the meeting.

He said a resolution would also be passed on the attacks.

Later, the RSS issued a statement saying that the participants led by Bhagwat paid tributes to important people who passed away this year, including two centenarians and Gandhians from Karnataka Prof G Venkatasubbaiah and HS Doreswamy, Dr H Siddalingaiah, Congress leader Oscar Fernandes, seers Adhyatmanand Ji, Swami Omkaranand Ji, author Narendra Kohli and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh, the RSS said in a statement.
