Nagpur (Maharashtra), Nov 09, 2026 (ANI): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday recalled that when an attempt was made in the 1930s to impose the first ban on the Sangh in the Central Province Assembly, there was no swayamsevak to defend it, and the only voice in its support was that of a man named Ibrahim. “...In the '30s, when an attempt to impose the first ban on the Sangh was made -in the Assembly of Central Province- there was no Swayamsevak to defend the Sangh; there was no one supporting the Sangh ideology either. There was one Mr Ibrahim who spoke in support of Sangh - that Sangh should not be shut down, that it is not communal…,” said Mohan Bhagwat. While speaking, he said, "I believe that those who say Hindustan is 'Hindu Rashtra' should be sent to a mental hospital. I know Dr Hedgewar; he is not mental; he is a good person. So, Sangh cannot be communal. It had been a few years since the formation of Sangh. It wasn't well-known, but everyone knew Dr Hedgewar...When Sangh began, Swayamsevak became its identity. Even today, after 100 years, Swayamsevak is Sangh's identity…,” he added.
