RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat to Visit Manipur Amid Centenary Celebrations, Ongoing Efforts to Restore Stability
New Delhi – November 18, 2025 – Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat is scheduled to visit Manipur from November 20th to 22nd, according to government sources. The visit, part of the RSS’s centenary celebrations, marks Bhagwat’s first trip to the northeastern state.
The visit comes at a crucial time for Manipur, which has been under President’s Rule since February 13th, 2025, as efforts continue to form a popular government. The state has been grappling with the aftermath of severe ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities that erupted in May 2023.
Sources indicate that Bhagwat is expected to meet with RSS members (karyakartas) and engage with civil society groups in Imphal. His visit follows previous calls for peace and reconciliation in Manipur. Shortly after the 2024 Lok Sabha results, Bhagwat emphasized the need to prioritize peace in the region.
The RSS, a cultural organization and the ideological parent of the Bharatiya Janata Party, is commemorating its 100th anniversary with events across India. Bhagwat is currently in Assam attending similar events. This Manipur trip is likely to carry significant weight given the state’s recent challenges and the ongoing political situation.
