RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on 8 February that Muslims are Hindus by nationality because they live in Hindustan and respect its traditions.

Whoever lives in Hindustan and has respect for its traditions are all Hindus. Muslims may have different way of performing prayers, but their nationality is Hindu. All Hindus are accountable for Hindustan

He made the comments while addressing ‘Hindu Sammelan’ in Madhya Pradesh.

Across the world, the Indian society is known as Hindu. All Bharatiya (Indians) are Hindus and we all are one entity.

“Across the globe it has been said that Bharat will become the world guru. In such a situation we are accountable for the country,” he said, adding that Hindus should remain alert for the honour of the country.

It is necessary for Hindus to remain united and bury their differences. Our caste, sub-caste, rituals and language may be different, but the language of our hearts is one. Diversity in life is beautiful, but it should also have unity.

Stressing on social harmony, he said that if the differences among Hindus persist, then society will suffer, instead of becoming strong.

The outside world is uniting, but it is not happening here in the country.

The function was also addressed by former Union Minister Satpal Maharaj, who laid emphasis on women's empowerment.

Earlier in the day, Bhagwat visited the Betul district jail and paid tribute to second Sarsanghchalak of the RSS, the late Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar alias 'Guruji'.

Bhagwat visited Barrack no 1 of the district jail, where Golwalkar was detained for about three months in 1949, after the organisation was banned following Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. 

However, the state Congress objected to Bhagwat's visit and termed it a violation of jail manual and an effort to glorify the member of the then-banned organisation.

BJP is trying to glorify Golwalkar, who was detained as a member of a banned organisation then. This is also a violation of jail manual. Only the family members, friends of a prisoner can visit the jail premises with prior permission of jail management
