RSS-Affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh Opens First Public Office in Kashmir's Pulwama
The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has opened its first public office in Barsoo village, Pulwama district, marking the Sangh's first permanent presence in Kashmir Valley. Led locally by Sameer Kuchay, a Muslim leader, the BMS aims to focus on workers' rights, fair wages, and welfare. The move follows years of discreet activity and is seen as a sign of changing dynamics post-Article 370 abrogation. While BMS emphasizes labour welfare, some regional opposition leaders express concern over the Sangh's expanding footprint in the region.
