Sources in the RSS said that apart from issues such as environment-friendly lifestyle, values-based family system, harmonious living, and Swadeshi principles, the meeting will also focus on VHP’s plans for the massive mobilisation campaign ahead of the Ram Temple inauguration scheduled in Ayodhya in January 2024.

This will start from September 31,” said a senior office-bearer of the VHP who is involved in preparations for the processions.
Religious leaders associated with VHP will be tasked to hold padyatras (foot marches) in villagers across the country where they will have meals at homes of Dalits and spread the message of the VHP’s success pertaining to the Ram Temple movement.
“We will share all our plans at the Pune meeting and also incorporate the suggestions received from participants,” said Alok Kumar, international working president, VHP.
