Minorities are culturally, nationally and DNA-wise Hindus: RSS leader

All Indians are “culturally, nationally and DNA-wise Hindus” and there are no minorities, a senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader said on Friday, while he attempted to distance the organisation from the religious conversion programmes being run by affiliates across the country.

RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale was speaking to the media at the three-day brainstorming session of the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha— the Sangh’s highest decision-making body— that kicked off in Nagpur.

“Whom do you call minorities? We don’t consider anybody to be a minority. There should be no minority concept in the country because there is no minority,” he said.
