Illegal conversion wrong: Bhagwat

NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat Wednesday said conversion by illegal and unfair means was wrong.

Responding to a range of questions on the last day of the three-day outreach conclave, he said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh does not accept Article 370 and 35-A of the Constitution which give special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

He pitched for greater development of the state, saying it was essential to bring its people into the mainstream.

Responding to a question, Bhagwat said there is no anger against Hindutva and its  acceptance is increasing across the world

To a query on women safety and rising incidents of rape, he said we have to create an environment where women feel safe and secure. Men, he said, have to learn to respect women.

He also said the LGBTQ community should not be isolated as they are part of society. But at the same time, gay rights is not the only pressing issue which should be debated.

Times are changing and society has to take a call on such issues, Bhagwat said. (PTI)
