Earlier on October 26, Tuesday, publicity in charge of the (Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh) RSS, Sunil Ambekar mourned the attack on Hindus in the neighbouring nation and had also assured a probable resolution on the matter. "We all know that recently there were large-scale attacks on Hindus and the 'Pooja Pandals' in Bangladesh during Durga Pooja. Many people were killed and injured. There were protests at many places on this issue. This topic will also be discussed during the Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal Baithak and there is a possibility of passing a resolution on this issue," Ambekar said at a press conference.

RSS to discuss expansion program

During the conclave, the RSS will also deliberate on its expansion program to reach those regions where it does not have its presence yet, Ambekar said. "The main discussion this time will also be on expanding our activities. We will review it and prepare an action plan. The qualities that will be required among our Karyakartas (volunteers) and their development will also be discussed," he said.

The previous meeting of the RSS for the first time was held on the virtual medium owing to COVID-induced guidelines and restrictions. The national executive committee meet is held every year towards the end of October, said an RSS functionary. "

This year the quorum is complete. More than 350 people have gathered here," the RSS office-bearer said requesting anonymity. He informed that several BJP leaders in charge of organisational works are also attending the event.
