About 100 groups back RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s planned visit to Canada, urging the Canadian government to allow it. The support comes as some MPs in India call for Bhagwat to be prevented from entering Canada.
NDTV reports that the groups reject arguments made by the MPs for blocking the visit. The outlets describe the development as a dispute over whether Bhagwat’s participation in Canada should be permitted, with the groups positioning themselves as supporters of his trip and the MPs representing a push to restrict entry.
While the sources agree on the broad facts—Bhagwat’s visit, the number of groups backing it, and the existence of calls to block it—they differ in emphasis. NDTV highlights that the backing is tied specifically to urging Canada to reject the blocking calls, framing it as a counter to the MPs’ request rather than as a debate over the visit’s agenda itself.
