New Delhi, June 6: Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is working to preserve the religious, cultural and social heritage of the country. Scindia was addressing an event organised to launch a book, titled 'Hindavi Swaraj Ke Sansthapak, Chhatrapati Shivaji' (Chhatrapati Shivaji, the founder of Hindavi Swaraj), at the RSS office here.

The Union Minister for Communications said RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, its second chief M S Golwalkar and other personalities motivated the Sangh to move forward in a "big way" to maintain the unity and integrity of the country, taking inspiration from the patriotic thoughts and ideals of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. ‘Dukhi Mat Ho Ki Maine Tumhari Supari Le Li’: Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia Takes Away Tobacco Packet From Woman’s Hand in MP’s Shivpuri (Watch Video).
