RSS today lauded the action by the Indian Army against northeast insurgents along the Myanmar border, saying it was a matter of pride for the country.
The organisation also raised the contentious issue of Love Jihad saying it has to be set right.
Speaking at the valedictory function of a RSS training camp here, Joint General Secretary V Bhagaiah said some days back, the army annihilated the insurgents, who had killed its jawans in an attack earlier.
"This is a matter of pride. Our army is valorous. But, there used to be lack of political will in the past," he said, adding that political will has been demonstrated and it is a moment of pride.
While many youth were lauding the action, he said, some selfish people were unfortunately criticising it.
Stressing on the need to accord honour to women, Bhagaiah said those who commit crimes against women do not come from outside, but are citizens of this country.
He also expressed concerns over crimes against women.
Bhagaiah said, Love Jihad was another issue of concern and it could be tackled when there is an atmosphere of love and affection within the family.
He said, in recent times, the country has been progressing and new enthusiasm and excitement are being witnessed among people.
He criticised the previous government, saying many of its ministers were involved in corruption.
The RSS leader said, in the present government no minister has committed any scam.
Bhagaiah also stressed on the importance of eradicating untouchability in the society.
In another training camp for its volunteers, All India Executive Committee member of RSS Ashok Beri termed caste- based division and practise of untouchability as a "big challenge" before the society and stressed on the need to create an "equal and exploitation-free" nation.
Beri added that elimination of such division and lacunas in the caste need to be thought from local-level.
"Division of society based on caste and practise of untouchability is a big challenge before us. The RSS aims at creating society free of caste-based division and exploitation. The RSS alone can't do such work and participation of each of us is required to attain such a society," he said.
