“OUR foreign policy has been protectionist from the beginning, since then the situation with the neighboring countries has become dire. Although the Government has gained control over the external forces in the country over the years, the country is at greater risk from the internal forces. If ‘Akhand Bharat’ is to be built, then these internal forces have to be curbed,” said former Pracharak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sunil Kitkaru while speaking at a lecture on ‘Integrity of India’ recently at Dr Hedgewar Memorial Building, Reshambagh during the two-day session of the Varishtha Nagrik Parisangh.
