Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat addressed volunteers on the Sangh's 101st foundation day on Tuesday. He called for vigilance against agitations that fan hatred for systems, ideologies and individuals. Bhagwat said global powers that wish to keep India subdued occasionally play a part. He cited uprisings in France, Albania, Bangladesh and Nepal. He framed Vande Mataram as a lasting unity symbol.
