RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Faces Protests During New York City Visit

RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat is scheduled to speak at a Universal Oneness Celebration at Madison Square Garden in New York City, triggering planned protests from various advocacy groups.

Critics, including the group Hindus for Human Rights, argue the event is a goodwill tour to rehabilitate the image of the RSS, which has been accused of communal violence.

The US Commission on International Religious Freedom formally requested on Wednesday that the US government revoke Bhagwat's visa, citing concerns over his leadership and controversial commentary.
