Mohan Bhagwat Warns Against Regime Change Attempts
Bhagwat referred to political unrest in countries including Bangladesh, Nepal and France, questioning whether movements seeking changes in government had successfully resolved underlying social and economic problems.

Bhagwat also emphasised dialogue and public participation in addressing social problems.
