RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has backed colleague Dattatreya Hosabale’s call to “keep the doors of dialogue open” with Pakistan, clarifying that the outreach is towards the people of Pakistan, not a shift in India’s Pakistan policy. He stressed that the RSS has no independent foreign policy and aligns with the Centre, but argued that even if India were to decisively defeat Pakistan in the future, dialogue would still be needed—whether to integrate people into Bharat’s fold or let them live there peacefully.
