RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on April 28 said the Sangh Parivar never opposed reservations extended to certain groups.

Addressing a programme at an educational institution, Bhagwat said the Sangh is of the opinion that the reservations should be extended as long as they are needed.

Bhagwat's statement comes after Congress shared a purported video of BJP leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam calling for an end to caste-based reservation.

Congress targeted BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over this amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

Last year in Nagpur, Bhagwat said that reservations should continue as long as there is discrimination in society.

Discrimination exists in society even though it is invisible, he had said.
