Threat of 3rd world war looming: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
He said the benefits of science are not reaching the poor in India or across the globe but weapons that destroy the world have reached everywhere
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday (November 10) that in light of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, there is a sense that the threat of a third world war is looming.
“We all feel the shadow of a third world war emerging, with discussions on whether it might begin in Ukraine or Gaza,” Bhagwat said while delivering a lecture in Jabalpur organised in the memory of Sangh woman leader of Madhya Pradesh’s Mahakoshal area late Dr Urmila Jamdar.

“Science has progressed a lot but its benefits are still not reaching the poor within the country or across the globe. But the weapons that destroy the world have reached everywhere,” the RSS chief said.
“Medicine for some diseases might not be available in rural areas but country-made revolver (deshi katta) is,” he added.
Expressed concern over environment
He expressed concern over the environment, saying it has reached a stage where it is causing diseases.
Bhagwat said serving humanity is Sanatan Dharma, which is synonymous with Hinduism. He said Hindutva has the potential to show the way to the world.
