NEW DELHI, Nov 16: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Tuesday that all the people of India are Hindus and that whoever considers India as his motherland is a Hindu, irrespective of religion.

While addressing a public meeting at Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh's Surjuga, he said, "All the people of India are Hindus. Whoever considers India as his motherland is a Hindu. Be it a follower of any religion, whatever the dress. This is the truth and Sangh speaks this truth out loud. This is because we have been united for hundreds of years."

He further said, "The Sangh cannot be compared, just like the sky cannot be compared. The meaning of Sangh cannot be guessed even by reading and writing. We all have one ancestor. We all have had the same DNA for 40,000 years. Everyone should be firm in their worship. Do not try to change anyone's worship. All the way out to one place. Everyone should walk on one path. Sangh has no self-interest, Sangh doesn't need popularity."
