“Manipur is going through a rough patch for the past 20 months, but there is some hope today. As we go through the vision of the central government, which is political and some of which are administrative, it has raised hopes forthe people of Manipur,” Mukunda said.

He said the RSS has been analysing the situation and it believed that “it will take a long time for a natural atmosphere to be created”. The RSS joint secretary said that forces challenging national unity were a matter of worry.

“As an organisation, we are concerned about the forces which are challenging national unity, especially raising the North-South divide, whether it is about delimitation or languages,” Mukunda said.

He said RSS volunteers and functionalities of different organisations related to the ‘Sangh Parivar’ are trying their best to bring harmony, especially in certain States. According to Mukunda, RSS has grown manifold in the last year. “Presently, there are 83,129 active Shakhas, which is over 10,000 more than what we had last year,” he explained.
