The RSS has strongly backed the Modi Government”s line on the LAC and sought to mobilise a strong public opinion around the world against Chinese “expansionist moves”.
Sangh leaders have held a series of meetings with top BJP functionaries on the ongoing India-China border escalation on the Line of Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh.
The RSS leaders supported Government”s call for its “Atmanirbhar” (self reliant) approach and reducing dependency on other countries- beginning with China.
The discussions in a series of meetings here, last week, stressed the need to “isolate China” globally and mend fences with neighbouring Nepal. The interaction was attended , among others, by the senior RSS leader Bhaiyaji Joshi, BJP President J P Nadda and BJP General Secretary (Organisation) B L Santosh, according to sources.
RSS functionaries felt that China”s design should be foiled by combing diplomatic, armed and social pressure and creating loud awareness about its moves in areas other than the Galwan Valley – which was the point of a violent skirmish on June 15-16- like Aksai Chin, parts of Ladakh, Shaksgam valley, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh. Awareness also needs to be created on their rapid infrastructure expansion, sources said.
The discussion lauded Government”s “strategic alliances” with countries like Japan and Australia. Both the countries have been critical of the current Chinese
dispensation. Japan has been inimical to Beijing on account of its territorial disputes and Australia had hit-out at the Chinese Government for its opaque behaviour in not providing timely information on the deadly coronavirus which originated from China.
RSS leaders stressed that relationships with neighbouring countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka or Maldives could be further improved and evolved. Nepal, they said is part of India”s cultural continuity and have deep relationship with India.
The Nagpur organisation stressed that its organisational network would make all efforts to create public opinion against China and seek to isolate it in the world community. RSS leaders said Government was on the right track in dealing with Chinse moves and would get full support from the organisation.
