Addressing a Vijayadashami event in Maharashtra's Nagpur, Bhagwat also took aim at popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, declaring "clandestine currency like Bitcoin can destabilise the economy" and claiming "vested global interests" were intent on blocking the country's progress.
"There is no control over what is shown on OTT platforms... all kinds of pictures are shown but how to control it? After coronavirus now even children have mobile phones (required when schools were shut during lockdown) ... now they are addicted and who knows what they see on it," he said.
"All kinds of narcotics are coming into the country... people are getting addicted. How to stop this? I don't know... people are scared. And all the money from these businesses, everyone knows where it goes. Money from such businesses is used for anti-national activities by some foreign countries."
