Mohan Bhagwat: Giving Bharat Ratna To Veer Savarkar Will Enhance The Honour’s Prestige | Congress

0 February 9, 2026 13:20

This Report focuses on the remarks made by RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat during the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in Mumbai. Bhagwat advocated for conferring the Bharat Ratna on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, stating, ‘Swatantravir savarkar ko Bharat Ratna Mila nahi Mila toh Bharat Ratna Mila toh us samman ka gaurav badhega’ (If Savarkar is given the Bharat Ratna, it will enhance the prestige of the honour). The proposal has triggered a political face-off, with the Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi raising objections citing the two-nation theory and historical controversies. Additionally, Bhagwat addressed the issue of illegal infiltrators, urging the government to ‘detect and deport’ them to ensure employment opportunities remain reserved for Indian citizens. He emphasised that jobs should be provided to locals, including Indian Muslims, rather than illegal immigrants, to prevent social unrest and economic instability.
