Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], October 12 (ANI): Noting that there is little control over OTT platforms on what is being shown and a lot of content is “disgusting”, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday expressed concern that children and youth were getting negatively impacted.
In his annual Vijayadashami speech here, he said the distorted propaganda and poor values spread by various systems and institutions are negatively affecting the minds, words and deeds of the younger generation in Bharat.
He said mobile phones have now reached the hands of children as well and there is little control over what is shown and what children are watching.
He said there is little to no control over OTT platforms on what is being shown. “Lot of content is so disgusting that even mentioning it would be a violation of decency. There is an urgent need of laws over the perverted visual content reaching our homes espically children,” he said.
He said there seems to be an urgent need for legal monitoring over advertisements and perverted visual content reaching homes and society.
“The drug addiction spreading like wildfire among the young generation is also hollowing the society from within. Values that lead to virtuousness will have to be revived,” he said.
The RSS chief said that sense of self-pride is increasing in the society, especially in the younger generation.
He also referred to peaceful assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir and various other polls including Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year.
“We are gradually moving ahead in many areas. All elections including Jammu and Kashmir have been completed peacefully. There is a general confidence that youth, women, entrepreneurs, farmers, workers, soldiers, administration, government, all will remain committed to their respective tasks. It is because of the efforts made by all these people in the last few years, inspired by the national interest, that Bharat’s image, power, fame and position on the world stage is constantly improving,” he said.
“But as if to test our resolve, some sinister conspiracies have appeared before us which need to be understood properly. If we take a look at the current scenario of our country, such challenges are clearly visible in front of us. Attempts to disturb and destabilise the country seem to be gaining momentum from all directions,” he added. (ANI)
