Beijing-Islamabad major threat, Bhagwat reminds New Delhi

By Anurjaya Dhala

BHUBANESWAR:Both Beijing and Islamabad continued to remain major threat for New Delhi in entire South Asian region, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sarasanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat said here on Sunday after ending his 4-days long Odisha visit.
Addressing a public gathering at Baramunda here, Bhagwat said here on Sunday while Pakistan’s challenge is open, China’s anti-India pursuit is more strategic and hidden.
“Pakistan has made several attempts to rattle Indian security forces though it is very weak compared to India. However, every time India was advised to restrain itself,” Bhagwat said.
On the recent beheading of an Indian jawan by Pakistani soldiers along the Line of Control ( LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, the RSS chief said, “They cut our man’s head, but we did nothing.” Distinguishing China’s aggression strategy from that of Pakistan, Bhagwat said China always talks of friendship but silently pursues its mission against India.
China is trying to complete its ‘encirclement’ (isolate Indian forces), the RSS chief said.
Bhagwat said to weaken India’s economy, China has been exporting commodities at very cheap prices.
“Why do not you (international community) ask Pakistan to stop pursuing anti-India policies,” Bhagwat asked adding that Foreign Minister of Pakistan speak on subjects which she should not during her visit to India and other countries.
India only shouts and does not act to stop such heinous (beheading of soldiers) activities of Pakistan, Bhagwat alleged saying that the people of India have reasons to be worried over the security of the nation.
Bhagwat said that national security of India was a matter of great concern, and alleged that country’s international borders, both in land and water, was not fullproof therefore smuggling of arms, narcotic drugs and others were possible.
There was a large influx of infiltrators to the country while neither the Government of India nor state governments have any mechanism to drive them out, he alleged. “Even there is no effort to identify them (infiltrators),” he said.
The RSS Sarasanghachalak accused political leadership of indulging in the politics of personal interest rather than working for the national interest and said society should have complete control over such politicians. Speaking on FDI he said, “Allowing FDI in retail sector will only add to the unemployment problem of the country.”
Asking Swayam Sevaks to be fearless, the RSS Chief quoted Swami Vivekananda’s message of developing the courage to face problems instead of sulking and leaving it on the fate.
