Reservation is required because there is social and economic disparity in the society, and should continue till its beneficiaries feel it is needed, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh said in Pushkar on Monday.
RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale added that the organisation strongly feels that temples, cremation grounds and water reservoirs should be open for all and not restricted to any specific caste.
"There is social and economic disparity in our society and therefore reservation is required...we totally support the reservation as mandated by the Constitution," he said at a press conference on the last day of the Sangh's three-day coordination meeting.
Asked whether the RSS feels reservation should not continue indefinitely, Hosabale said it is for the beneficiaries of the system to decide.
"Reservation should continue till its beneficiaries feel it is required," he said, clearing his organisation's stance on quotas.
A Dalit organisation, he said, had written to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat applauding the Sangh's stand on ending discrimination in the society.
Reservation was not on the agenda of the Sangh's coordination meeting and was not discussed.
Over 200 delegates of 35 RSS affiliates attended the coordination meeting, the first after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
BJP working president J. P. Nadda and general secretary (organisation) B. L. Santhosh also attended the meeting.
Bhagwat recently suggested that a dialogue should be held in a harmonious atmosphere between those who avail themselves of reservation benefits and those who don't.

Reservation Should Go On Till There Is Untouchability: RSS

PUSHKAR: Reservations should continue in the country till discrimination exists in the society, whether in the form of untouchability or economic reasons, said Dattatreya Hosabale, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) joint general secretary.
"RSS chief has said that water sources, temple and cemeteries should be available to everyone. On the issue of reservation, they will be needed till the time there is untouchability, economic need, and its beneficiaries feel they require it. The day it stops and its beneficiaries say we do not need it anymore then it will be stopped," Mr Hosabale said addressing a press conference at the end of the three-day All India Coordination Committee meeting in Rajasthan's Pushkar.
Talking about the National Register of Citizens (NRC) issue in Assam, Mr Hosabale said that more work needs to be done on the topic by the Center to single out every illegal immigrant residing in the nation.
"Assam conducted NRC under a fixed time as guided by the Supreme Court. NRC is a complex issue, the survey needs time. We also want the process to be quick but we feel there are many people of Bangladeshi origin who have documents from India. It was a newly elected government which was entrusted with a difficult task there," Mr Hosabale said.
"NRC report is not the final rule, the government will need to figure out what more steps need to be taken to find out the inefficiencies in it. There might be some shortcomings which people are speaking against but we welcome the step," he added.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and heads of over 35 organisations affiliated to the RSS attended the three-day All India Coordination Committee meeting held between September 7 to 9 in Pushkar.
COMMENT
Other topics discussed included during the meeting included repeal of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has issued a clarification on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's call for dialogue on the reservation as the statement created an uproar.
On Sunday, Mohan Bhagwat had said that there should be conversation in harmonious atmosphere between those in favour of reservation and those against it.
"Those who favour reservation should speak keeping in mind the interests of those who are against it, and similarly those who oppose it should do the vice-versa," he had said.
The statement had erupted a controversy with Congress claiming that it exposed the "anti Dalit-backward face" of the RSS and the BJP.
"The anti Dalit-backward face of the RSS-BJP has been exposed. The conspiracy to end reservation for the poor and the policy of changing the Constitution have been uncovered," Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a series of tweets in Hindi.
Issuing a clarification on Monday, RSS spokesperson Arun Kumar said that there were "attempts to create an unnecessary controversy over a part of Mohan Bhagwat ji's speech".
"He called for a discussion on sensitive topics like reservation in a harmonious atmosphere. As far as RSS's view on reservation goes, that has been made clear several times that the Sangh supports reservation to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, OBCs and economically-backward people," the statement said.

Speaking at an event at IGNOU in New Delhi on Sunday, Bhagwat said that the RSS, the BJP and the party-led government were three different entities and one cannot be held responsible for actions of another.

Talking about the perception of Sangh's influence over the Narendra Modi dispensation, Bhagwat said, "Since there are Sangh workers in BJP and this government, they will listen to RSS, but it is not mandatory for them to agree with us. They can disagree as well."
Since the BJP is in government, it has to look at the bigger picture and can disagree with the RSS point of view, he said, adding that once a party comes to power, for it the government and national interest become a priority.
Earlier, the RSS chief had advocated for a review of the reservation policy, drawing sharp reactions from many parties and caste groups.
