Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat is likely to visit Manipur from November 20 to 22, according to sources in the State government.
The visit is related to the centenary celebrations of the organisation, sources said. Mr. Bhagwat is currently on a three-day visit to Assam to attend similar events to commemorate 100 years of the RSS.
The visit comes in the wake of ongoing efforts to form a popular government in the northeastern State, which was placed under President’s Rule on February 13 this year.
Ethnic violence between the Meitei and the Kuki-Zo communities erupted in the State on May 3, 2023, killing around 250 people.
Mr. Bhagwat is likely to meet RSS karyakartas and interact with members of civil society groups in Imphal.
This is Mr. Bhagwat’s first visit to the State. On June 10, 2024, soon after the Lok Sabha results, Mr. Bhagwat called for peace in the strife-torn State, stating: “The State had been peaceful for 10 years. It had appeared that gun culture had ended. However, who is thinking of dousing the flames that have erupted now? Peace has to be considered on priority basis.”
The RSS, which calls itself a cultural organisation, is the ideological parent of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
