NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat‘s “superman” remark has fed ammunition to the opposition INDIA bloc as it was NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday who took a dig, saying “sensible people” should take note of Bhagwant’s statement.
“Someone started calling self a god and now people from the BJP and RSS are talking about it. Sensible people should take note of this,” Pawar said when reporters sought his view on the RSS chief’s remarks, reported news agency PTI.
Speaking in Jharkhand on Thursday, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief had said in the course of self-development, a man may want to become “superman”, then “Devta” and “Bhagwan” (God) and aspire for “vishwaroop”, but nobody is certain what lies ahead.
“In the course of self-development, a man may want to become ‘superman’, then ‘devta’ and ‘bhagwan’ and aspire for ‘vishwaroop’, but nobody is certain what lies ahead, Bhagwat said, while addressing a village-level workers meeting, organised by a non-profit organisation Vikas Bharti in Gumla, Jharkhand.
There is no end to the development of the inner and outer self and one should work relentlessly for humanity, he said, adding that a worker should never be satisfied with his or her work.
“Work should continue, one should strive to work constantly in areas of environment, education and health… There is no end to it and constant work in different areas is the only solution… We should strive to make this world a beautiful place as is the nature of India,” he said.
Bhagwat asserted that everyone should work relentlessly towards the welfare of society and added that those who are working in real sense “should speak from the stage while we should sit and listen.”
Earlier Congress had latched on to Bhagwat’s remarks, calling the comments an “Agni Missile fired by Nagpur” and aimed at Lok Kalyan Marg.
While the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is headquartered in Nagpur, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg is the Prime Minister’s official residence.
