IMPHAL, Nov 19: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is scheduled to arrive in Manipur on November 20 for the first time since ethnic violence broke out two years ago, a functionary of the organisation said on Wednesday.
During his three-day stay, Bhagwat will interact with citizens, entrepreneurs and representatives of the tribal community, RSS state general secretary Tarunkumar Sharma said.
“Our Sarsanghchalak’s visit to the state is in connection with the centenary celebrations of the RSS. He is arriving from Guwahati on November 20 and will leave on November 22. This will be his first visit since the violence broke out two years ago. Bhagwat had last visited the state in 2022,” he said.
As part of his itinerary, separate interactive sessions will be held with prominent citizens, Janajati (tribal) community representatives, and youth leaders, Sharma said.
“On the day of his arrival, he will be meeting with entrepreneurs and eminent individuals at a programme at Konjeng Leikai in Imphal. On November 21, Bhagwat will meet and interact with tribal leaders from the Manipur hills,” he said.
Asked if Bhagwat will be visiting relief camps, where internally displaced people have been staying for the last two years, he said, “This is not in the schedule as of now. The visit is mostly an internal part of the RSS.”
