]]> RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat made it clear that the organisation will not participate in campaigns for Kashi or Mathura temple reclamation. He said that the Ram temple in Ayodhya was the only movement directly supported by the RSS. However, volunteers are free to join the Kashi-Mathura movements if they personally wish to. Bhagwat repeated that Ayodhya, Kashi, and Mathura hold deep significance for Hindus, but beyond these three, “there is no need to search for a temple or Shivling everywhere.”

He appealed for restraint and harmony, saying such selective focus would help avoid unnecessary conflict. Bhagwat also clarified that there is no rift between the RSS and the BJP. According to him, both organisations work independently but maintain coordination. “The RSS runs shakhas and the BJP runs the government,” he explained.

On politics, Bhagwat dismissed claims that he had suggested retirement at 75. He also spoke on inclusivity, saying Islam has a permanent place in India and the RSS does not oppose Muslims. On global matters, he said India can handle tariff tensions with the United States and stressed that international trade should never happen under pressure.
