UDHAMPUR, Oct 22: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) today celebrated its foundation day at Udhampur Mini Stadium.
A large number of Swayamsevaks (volunteers), comprising Proad, Tarun and Bal (Elders, Youth, and Children), were present in Ganvesh (full uniform).
The foundation day function began with Shastar Pujan (worshiping of traditional weapons). RSS Prant Parcharak, Rupesh Kumar, delivered a lecture (Bodic) based on philosophy and ideology of RSS.
While addressing the RSS volunteers, Parcharak Rupesh Kumar expressed that their only mission was to unite Hindus and RSS was not against any religion because Snatan Dharam preaches ”Jeo aur Jene Do” and “Sarva Dharam Sambahv”. He further said that RSS was against evil and believes Hindutva – The way of life. He again said that it is unfortunate that Hindus are scattered resulting anti social elements make it a tool of violence. Rupesh Kumar said that RSS never believes in violence but always stands for the protection of the society.
Later on, Path Sanchalan (March Past) was taken out. It took off from Mini Stadium and culminated at the same venue after passing through Dabbar Chowk , Gole Market, Mukerjee Bazar, Court Road and Slathia Chowk.
Minister of State for Finance and Information Technology, Pawan Gupta participated in the function and march-past also along with RSS volunteers.
The foundation day celebration was held under the supervision of Bhivag Sangh Chalak Dharam Veer Gupta, Zila Sang Chalak, Rajinder Kumar Gupta and Nagar Sangh Chalak Rajinder Kumar (Raj Cycle Wale).
