Nagpur: Former Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar and Israel Consul General to Midwest India Yaniv Revach have been invited as guests at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s Vijayadashmi programme on October 20 in Nagpur, the RSS said.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will deliver the keynote address at the programme, which will be held at Reshimbagh in Nagpur, the Sangh said in a release issued on Wednesday.

Dainik Jagran’s Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Gupta will be the chief guest at the event, it said.

“This year, the invited guests for the Sangh’s Vijayadashmi celebration, marking the conclusion of its centenary year, will be former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Yaniv Revach, Israel’s Consul General for the Midwest India region,” the RSS said.

Dhankhar suddenly resigned as Vice President and Chairman of the Rajya Sabha in July 2025, citing medical reasons.

The Congress has targeted the Modi government over the Sangh’s invite to Dhankhar, saying that the “ecosystem is at war with itself”.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said even though Dhankhar has got an invite from the RSS, the government is yet to allot him a house that he is entitled to since he resigned suddenly in July last year. PTI CLS GK

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

Nine years on, that belief has held.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
