Sat Sharma calls for unity, self-reliance

Addressing the attendees, Sharma stated that the Hindu community must unite and strive for self-sufficiency. "The RSS is organising Hindu Samelans across various locations, and we must work together to fulfil the dream of a developed Bharat," he remarked.

Addresses safety of Hindus in Bangladesh

Sharma also addressed the safety and security of Hindus, especially abroad. He expressed concern over the ongoing atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. "Our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is deeply concerned about the unfortunate incidents occurring in Bangladesh. The government is closely monitoring the situation and taking appropriate action to address the issue," he added.

Slams opposition for 'selective solidarity'

He further criticised the opposition for their lack of response to Hindu-related issues. "When incidents occur in Gaza or other Muslim-majority countries, opposition parties are quick to show solidarity with candlelight vigils. However, they remain silent when it comes to issues related to Hindu organisations," Sharma later said. (ANI)
