Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday lauded the contribution of the Sindhi community in all fields and noted that at the time of the country’s division in 1947, members of the community decided to remain with India.
Addressing a large crowd at a function at BHEL ground here to mark the closing of the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of Sindhi community martyr Hemu Kalani, Mohan Bhagwat asserted that the division of India was an artificial one and even the people in Pakistan now say it was a mistake.
