In a major bid to reach out to the foreign media houses to clear any misconceptions held about Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the organisation’s chief, Mohan Bhagwat is likely to hold a briefing of members of such media houses on 24 September, reports The Hindu.
The said interaction with foreign media will be aimed at briefing them on Sangh's position and ideological stance on sundry issues. The engagement with the foreign media houses will also be aimed at briefing them about how the RSS has evolved over the course of history.
The development comes at a time when the foreign media has grown scathing in their reportage related to the RSS. Also, it should be noted that the RSS chief had also conducted a lecture series last month which was well attended by the representatives from the Indian media.
Bhagwat had in July also hosted the German Ambassador to India, Walter J Lindner at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
