RSS Functionary Speaks on 'Pure Love' and 'Love Jihad'

Dattatreya Hosabale, a key figure in the RSS, has addressed the sensitive issue of interfaith love and the controversial concept of 'Love Jihad.' Speaking exclusively to PTI Videos, Hosabale stressed the acceptance of genuine love between individuals of different faiths.

He argued that while love must be pure, any deliberate attempt to manipulate such relations, termed 'Love Jihad,' raises serious concerns. Hosabale noted numerous cases of conspiracies aimed at abducting Hindu girls, emphasizing that this issue isn't restricted to any gender or community.

Additionally, he advocated for larger families, citing family and national security. Hosabale warned that an aging population could impact the nation's future, urging families to consider having more children to ensure a balanced, youthful demographic.
