Union Home Minister Amit Shah described the RSS’s journey as historic, noting that it has shaped leaders and volunteers dedicated to nation-building.
In a post on X, he stated, “From the leaders occupying the highest positions in the country to the grassroots workers, the historic journey of the Sangh’s century has shaped numerous such personalities whose life’s goal has been nation-building.”
Shah cited examples from Indian history where RSS volunteers played critical roles, including the Hyderabad liberation struggle, Goa’s liberation movement, resistance against the Emergency, support to soldiers in wars, opposition to Article 370, and anti-infiltrator efforts in the Northeast.
He emphasised that RSS volunteers have consistently demonstrated sacrifice and dedication, serving in deserts, rugged forests, remote villages, and inaccessible Himalayan peaks.
He also highlighted how the Sangh has united diverse communities, including forest-dwellers, Backward Classes, Dalits, and other marginalised groups, and said that its centenary journey will earn lasting recognition for promoting self-respect and national unity across India.
देश के सर्वोच्च पदों पर आसीन नेताओं से लेकर जमीनी कार्यकर्ताओं तक, संघ शताब्दी की ऐतिहासिक यात्रा ने अनेक ऐसे व्यक्तित्व गढ़े हैं, जिनके जीवन का लक्ष्य ही राष्ट्रनिर्माण रहा।
