The SSP said that he has also inspected the cave of Maharshi which the RSS will visit during his Bihar trip. "We are alert, SSP has also inspected. Regarding security, there will be no problem ensuring the appointment of police forces at various places. There will be the deployment of forces at sensitive places," ANI quoted Kumar as saying.

Mohan Bhagwat, who has been the head of Sangh since 2009, is considered a key figure in India's right-wing politics. He has been vocal about Hindutva, an ideological system which brings everyone together.

He has been repeatedly telling off late that every person living in the country is a 'Hindu,' that the DNA of all Indians is the same, and that there is no need for anyone to modify his way of performing rituals.

"We have been telling since 1925 (when RSS was founded) that everyone living in India is a Hindu. Those who consider India as their 'matrubhoomi' (motherland) and want to live with a culture of unity in diversity and make efforts in this direction, irrespective of whatever religion, culture, language and food habits, and ideology they follow, are Hindus," news agency PTI quoted Bhagwat as saying.
