RSS weekly endorses Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks on temple-mosque conflict; slams ‘fog and frenzy by social media experts’

Live Mint  

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat's recent remarks on the resurgence of mosque-temple disputes was a ‘clear call’ for society to adopt a ‘sensible approach’ in the matter, a Hindi weekly linked to the right-wing organisation said in an editorial. In these reactions, the "fog and frenzy created by social media experts" is more visible, instead of spontaneous social opinion, the latest editorial said calling Bhagwat's statement a "clear call" for society to adopt a "sensible approach" towards the issue. The editorial sparked a row so much so that the Organiser editor clarified that the weekly stood for "social harmony" and also endorsed "Bhagwat's speech and his articulation on Bharat standing as a model of social harmony as a necessary precondition for being Vishwaguru". "There is unnecessary and misrepresented controversy over the editorial of Organiser weekly linking it with Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat ji's speech in Marathi, delivered in Pune," the magazine clarified in a post on X, quoting Ketkar, on December 26.
