RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said India is a country of Hindus and it respects all religions, hence, conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war were never seen in the country.
Addressing at an event held to celebrate 350 years of the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on Saturday, Bhagwat said, “In this country, there is a religion, culture that respects all sects and faiths. That religion is Hinduism. This is a country of Hindus. That does not mean we reject all other (religions). Once you say Hindu, it isn't need to be told that Muslims too were protected. Only Hindus do this. Only India does this. Others have not done this.”
The RSS chief added India never fought wars on issues like the one that led to the Israel-Hamas conflict with anybody. “Everywhere else, strifes are underway. You must have heard of the war in Ukraine, Hamas-Israel war. In our country, there were never wars on such issues. The invasion during Shivaji Maharaj's time was of that kind. But we never fought battles on this issue with anybody. That is why we are Hindus," he said.
