What FACTLY found
The viral video is clipped. This viral video shows visuals of Mohan Bhagwat addressing a gathering in Hyderabad on 28 April 2024. In his speech, Bhagwat mentioned that a video claiming that the RSS is against reservation, and they cannot openly express this stance is going viral, which is false. He said that the RSS has been supporting all reservations as per the Constitution since the beginning of reservations, and they will continue to do so until discrimination exists.
