The BJP’s ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stated on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Pope Francis in the Vatican had boosted the country’s prestige.
The RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale told reporters: “What is wrong if the head of the government meets anyone in the existing civil system in the world? We welcome it because we believe in “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (the world is one family). We respect all religions.” On the final day of the three-day Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal (ABKM) meeting, he spoke to reporters.
