RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Urges Citizens to Embrace ‘Swadeshi’ Products for National Progress

admin June 9, 2025 National

KANPUR (UP), June 9 — Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday called upon the people of India to make a conscious and committed shift toward using Swadeshi (indigenous) products in their daily lives, emphasizing that such a move is crucial for the country’s economic and social development.

Addressing a gathering in Kanpur, Bhagwat appealed to students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and common citizens to reflect on how their personal choices could contribute to national progress. The message was shared with the media by Dr. Anupam, the RSS Prant Prachar Pramukh (regional communication head).

According to Dr. Anupam, Bhagwat stressed the importance of self-reliance and economic patriotism, stating that the foundation of a strong nation lies in the economic empowerment of its citizens through the use and promotion of domestically produced goods. “This resolution must begin with ourselves,” Bhagwat was quoted as saying, “and gradually extend to our families, our neighborhoods, our cities, and eventually to the entire nation.”

Bhagwat highlighted that money earned and spent within the country should circulate within the domestic economy, fostering growth, generating employment, and reducing dependency on foreign goods. “We must make it a habit to support local industries and products, which not only strengthens the economy but also reinforces national identity and pride,” he added.

The RSS chief’s remarks align with the broader ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) campaign initiated by the central government, which encourages citizens and industries to adopt local alternatives over imported goods.

His appeal also carries cultural significance, resonating with the Swadeshi movement of India’s freedom struggle, which promoted indigenous goods as a form of resistance to colonial economic policies.

The event in Kanpur was part of the RSS’s ongoing outreach and public engagement programs, where senior leaders emphasize social responsibility, cultural values, and the importance of nation-building through everyday actions.(pressmediaofindia.com)

Opposition parties opposing women’s quota, delimitation for politics: Kishan Reddy New Delhi, April 17 (PMI): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Friday accused the opposition parties of resisting the Women’s Reservation and Delimitation Bills for political mileage. Talking to newsmen, he asserted that the Centre’s proposed formula ensures fairness to all states, rejecting claims of injustice to southern regions. Reddy alleged that parties fear losing dominance if new leadership emerges through reservations and constituency changes. He also criticized regional parties for spreading “false propaganda” and called for a public debate on the issue. “Speaking in the Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, and the Central Government delivered a very clear message that no state would suffer any injustice whatsoever. Unlike the manner in which the delimitation was conducted when the Congress party was in power, we are introducing a Bill that is favorable and acceptable to all, ensuring equitable justice for every state. Despite this, the opposition continues to engage in false propaganda within Parliament. Citing census data, they claimed that the population in the South was declining and that the region would be penalized for having successfully implemented family planning measures. Initially, their argument was that if the constituency delimitation were to be undertaken following the census, the South would inevitably face injustice. However, today, recognizing the sentiments of the people and ensuring that the number of seats in the South does not diminish, the Modi government has introduced a formula involving a 50% increase”, he noted. Further, Kishan Reddy alleged that from the very beginning, it has been a calculated conspiracy by the Majlis party to ensure that the women are denied any form of political reservation. Statements made by Majlis party leaders specifically Akbaruddin Owaisi suggesting that the entry of the women into politics would give rise to new complications and problems, are officially recorded in the Assembly records. Fearing that a delimitation of constituencies in Hyderabad could jeopardize their own seats, the Majlis party is now conspiring in tandem with both the Congress and the BRS parties . Having held consultations with these two parties, the Majlis party is actively campaigning against both the proposed delimitation and the provision of Women’s reservations”, he remarked. (PMI)
