Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said Lord Hanuman is a role model from the ancient period and 17th century Maratha warrior king Chౠhatrapati Shivaji from the historical era.
Speakin🌄g at an event organised on the 160th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand, he said RSS founder Dr. Keshav Baliram Hegdewar and its top leaders M S Golwalkar and Balasaheb Deoras have unequivoca🌜lly said the saffron flag, not an individual, is the role model for the Nagpur-based Hindutva organisation.
“It (the saffron🔴 flag) is the symbol of our principles,” he said.
“If you want a person as a role model,꧅ the three (RSS chiefs) have said from the ancient (Puran Kaal) period, our♑ role model is Ram bhakt Lord Hanuman and from the historical period (Itihaas Kaal), our role model is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,” Bhagwat added.
