He considered this a manifestation of the leftist agenda infiltrating educational institutions and undermining traditional cultural values.
The RSS chief also highlighted an example from the United States, where, after a change in government leadership, policies were implemented in schools allowing students to self-identify their gender and use corresponding restrooms. Bhagwat questioned the impact of such cultural shifts and expressed concerns about the moral fabric of society.
