Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar is set to attend the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) annual Dussehra event on October 20 in Nagpur. The invitation highlights Dhankhar's role as a prominent guest at this significant occasion, which celebrates the foundation day of the RSS, a key organization in India's socio-political landscape.
The Dussehra event will take place at the Reshimbagh Ground in Nagpur and is particularly noteworthy this year as it marks the conclusion of the RSS's centenary celebrations. The organization has been a pivotal force in shaping India's cultural and political narrative since its inception. This annual gathering is expected to draw considerable attention, with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressing the attendees.
In addition to Dhankhar, the event will feature Sanjay Gupta, Editor-in-Chief of Dainik Jagran, as the chief guest. The RSS has also extended invitations to other dignitaries, including Yaniv Revach, the Consul General of Israel for the Midwest India region. This diverse guest list reflects the RSS's outreach efforts and its desire to engage with various stakeholders in Indian society.
The invitation to Dhankhar has not gone unnoticed by political opponents. The Congress party has criticized the Modi government, suggesting that the political environment is fraught with internal conflicts. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh pointed out that despite receiving an invitation from the RSS, Dhankhar has yet to be allocated a government residence, a right he is entitled to following his resignation in July of the previous year.
Looking ahead, the RSS's Dussehra event is anticipated to be a significant gathering, not only for its cultural implications but also for its political undertones. As the organization celebrates its centenary, the event may set the tone for future engagements and initiatives. Observers will be keen to see how the political discourse evolves in the wake of this gathering, particularly in light of the criticisms directed at the government regarding Dhankhar's situation.
