RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Arrives in New York Amid Protests Over Madison Square Garden Event
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived in New York on August 25 as part of the RSS's centenary global outreach tour, culminating in a 'Universal Oneness Celebration' at Madison Square Garden on August 29. The event, organized by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue, aims to promote unity and cultural harmony. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed opposition to the event due to concerns about RSS's ideology but acknowledged the city may lack authority to cancel the private gathering. Various interfaith groups protested, citing RSS's alleged anti-minority stance.
