Amid heated debates about trolls targeting women on social media in the recent context of a Kannada journalists's murder, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday said that his organisation does not support trolling and aggressive behaviour on the net as it amounts to "hitting below the belt".

The RSS Chief was explaining RSS ideology to foreign diplomats from more than 50 missions, at an interactive session in the national capital. The breakfast meet was organised by BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav's India Foundation.

"Trolling amounts to hitting below the belt. We do not support those who display such aggression We do not support trolling and aggressive behaviour on the net," Bhagwat was quoted in a series of tweets posted by Prasar Bharti Chairman A Surya Prakash who was present at the event.

The RSS chief was also quoted as saying that the Sangh Parivar does not believe in discrimination. "No discrimination and oneness of our nation and oneness of the world is our goal," said another tweet by Prakash quoting Bhagwat. He told the diplomats that RSS runs 1.70 lakh service projects in various fields, including health, education, rural development, and invited them to visit these projects. On relationship with the BJP, the RSS chief reiterated that the Sangh does not interfere in the party's affairs.
