More details about the two-day event in Mumbai

The two-day event, which began on February 7, concludes on February 8, 2026, at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Mumbai. It brings together senior RSS leaders and invited speakers.

As per the latest update from news agency ANI, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat spoke at the Two-Day Lecture Series on 100 Years of Sangh Journey - New Horizons in Mumbai.

He said, "The government has a lot to do regarding infiltration. They have to detect and deport. This wasn't happening until now, but it has started little by little, and it will gradually increase. When the census or the SIR is conducted, many people come to light who are not citizens of this country; they are automatically excluded from the process."

“But we can do one thing: we can work on detection. Their language gives them away. We should detect them and report them to the appropriate authorities. We should inform the police that we suspect these people are foreigners, and they should investigate and keep an eye on them, and we will also keep an eye on them. We will not give employment to any foreigner. If someone is from our country, we will give them employment, but not to foreigners. You should be a little more vigilant and aware,” he added.

Emphasising the inclusivity of the Sangh, he said that anyone can become 'Sarsanghchalak' (RSS chief), including the SC and STs, as the decision is solely dependent on the work that any individual puts into the organisation.
