situation is even more challenging. But even in such conditions, the volunteers
of the Sangh are firmly stationed, serving both factions and trying to pacify
the situation." He was speaking at an event in Pune to mark the centenary year
of Shankar Dinkar Kane (Bhaiyyaji), who worked in Manipur, focused on children's
education until 1971, brought students to Maharashtra and arranged for their

On September 9 while releasing a book 'Tanjavarche Marathe', wrote by Dr Milind
Paradkar, Dr Bhagwat said, “Some elements who don't want Bharat to grow are
creating hindrance in path of its development. However, there is no need to be
scared as a similar situation prevailed during the times of Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj, but it was tackled using power of "dharma" and righteousness.”
