The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) principal decision-making body is expected to adopt a resolution concerning the "security of Hindus" in multiple countries, including Bangladesh, during its yearly meeting in Bengaluru the following week.
The annual conference of the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) is set to take place in the Channenahalli area of Bengaluru from 21 to 23 March, Indian Express reported.
Insiders have reported that in light of the assaults on Hindus in Bangladesh after the collapse of the Sheikh Hasina administration last year, the Sangh is expected to not only denounce the "attacks on Hindus globally," but also potentially advocate for a system to safeguard them. Recently, there have also been accounts of alleged Khalistani activists focusing on Hindu temples and worshippers in Canada.
Insiders from the Sangh suggest that the ABPS is anticipated to approve a resolution on a minimum of "two significant national matters". The second topic is still unknown. Given that this year marks the centenary of the RSS, sources indicate that the additional resolution might concentrate on challenges the Sangh should address in the future.
The RSS has stated that the meeting will focus on topics related to the "Hindu awakening" and will also include a review of the nation's present situation.
The ABPS gathering, which is the RSS's most significant meeting, is attended by all its top leaders, including its head, Mohan Bhagwat, and his deputy, Dattatreya Hosabale. The meeting is also graced by the BJP president and other high-ranking party leaders.
The topics discussed and resolutions made during this meeting not only determine the Sangh's course for the upcoming year but also provide the government with an indication of what the RSS desires at a policy level.
