Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday 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 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, he rued. “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) does,” he added.

He expressed concerns 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.

"Why INDI alliance (INDIA bloc) has not nominated a single Muslim candidate in any of the 14 assembly seats of the Kolhan region? Why did the state government fail to punish those accused of mob lynching? Why has the Madrasa Board not been formed in the last five years?," Balyawi asked.

The ruling alliance in Maharashtra must be removed from power as it is not concerned about the suffering of farmers due to drop in prices for crops, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar said on Sunday.

Addressing a rally in Gangapur in Aurangabad district, he said prices for crops like sugarcane, soybean and jowar have plummeted.

"Farmers who quench the hunger of the country are in distress, but the ruling parties are not concerned. Such people have no right to be in power. They must be unseated. In the last nine months 950 farmers have committed suicide. This is because they cannot recover capital investment, leading to burden of loans," he said.

But the Union government is not bothered, Pawar asserted.
