'Not welcome': Mohan Bhagwat's New York visit draws criticism from US Democrats

US lawmakers Rashida Tlaib and Jim McGovern have criticized RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's visit to New York, stating that the platform given to the Hindu nationalist leader promotes discrimination and violence against religious minorities in India. Tlaib called Bhagwat and his "Hindu nationalist ideology" unwelcome in American communities, while McGovern urged Bhagwat to face accountability instead of being given a platform.

Bhagwat addressed over 5,000 attendees at the 'Universal Oneness Celebration' at Madison Square Garden, emphasizing unity, diversity, and human interconnectedness. He also discussed the concept of 'Dharma,' describing it as the principle that sustains the universe and human beings.
