RSS to hold three-day annual meet in Mathura from September 1

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will hold a three-day annual coordination meeting in Mathura from September 1 to take stock of the activities of organisations associated with it.

"If such issues come before us, we will take it up," Vaidya said when asked whether issue like construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya or Article 356 or Article 35 A in Kashmir are on the meeting agenda.
