According to the sources, RSS wants the policy to be implemented expeditiously. All aspects related to the policy were discussed in Tuesday’s meeting.

The meeting holds significance in the wake of upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and other states.
Meanwhile, in order to convey its point of view to the government on various issues, the Sangh keeps on calling such coordination meetings related to specific issues, in which RSS representatives — working in that particular area — provide feedback to the government.
The meeting has been called at a time when farmers’ agitation is about to complete a year. The farmers have been protesting against the three farm laws passed by Parliament. They want the laws withdrawn.
