Ex-CEC Discusses 2022 Meeting with Bhagwat
Former CEC S.Y. Quraishi recounted a 2022 meeting with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, framing it as an attempt to address prevailing hate discourse. Quraishi stated the delegation sought to complain about hate and polarization, leading Bhagwat to assert that 'we cannot even imagine a Hindu Rashtra without Muslims.' Quraishi noted Bhagwat also raised concerns regarding religious sentiments like cow slaughter and the term 'kafir,' which prompted calls for government enforcement and clarification on identity. The context suggests a tension between communal discourse and the RSS's evolving narrative on Hindu identity.
