We got \u2018botted\u2019 by misguided opponents who tried to game the X algorithm and get our handle blocked. A big thank you to @X @Support for the prompt response, restoring our account and clearing out the bots. Now, back to what really matters: celebrating Universal Harmony and Universal Oneness @Uni1ness,\u201d AHEAD said in a post on X.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The account, operating under the handle @AheadForum1, had earlier become unavailable to users on Thursday. AHEAD had initially said it believed the suspension may have occurred in error.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Bhagwat is scheduled to address the \u201cUniversal Oneness Celebration\u201d at the Infosys Theatre at Madison Square Garden on August 29. The programme is expected to draw around 5,000 Indian Americans as part of the RSS&#8217;s global outreach during its centenary year<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Earlier this week, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he did not support the planned event, while acknowledging that his office may not have the authority to cancel a private gathering.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cI don\u2019t support the rally, but I don\u2019t know if the city has any jurisdiction on cancelling a private event,\u201d Mamdani told reporters on Tuesday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Mamdani&#8217;s comments have triggered criticism among sections of the Indian-American diaspora and have also drawn opposing reactions from Indian political parties. His remarks came as left-liberal groups criticised the event and called for its cancellation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The controversy has also prompted a security advisory from the Hindu American Foundation (HAF), a US-based non-profit organisation. <!-- -->HAF urged people attending the event to remain vigilant, stay aware of their surroundings and keep interactions civil.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>HAF said the advisory followed attempts by activists targeting Hindu Americans to disrupt and cancel the celebration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>It also called on Mamdani to ensure the safety of people attending the event.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The event has also drawn scrutiny from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), which has urged the US government to consider sanctions against RSS members and Indian officials it alleges are involved in religious freedom violations in India.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>\u201cWe urge the US government to consider targeted sanctions against RSS members and Indian officials complicit in religious freedom violations, including revoking the visa issued to Mohan Bhagwat and making him ineligible for future entry into the United States,\u201d the body said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>The commission is chaired by Pakistani-American Asif Mahmood.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>India&#8217;s Ministry of External Affairs has previously rejected USCIRF&#8217;s assessments, accusing the body of bias and questioning its credibility. During an August 21 press briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the commission had made what he described as \u201cincorrect and provocative statements about India\u201d for years.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>\u201cWe all know this is a biased institution. For years, it has made incorrect and provocative statements about India. We should ignore such institutions, as they have their own agendas and lack credibility,\u201d Jaiswal said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/rss-chief-mohan-bhagwats-us-event-organiser-aheads-x-account-restored-after-brief-suspension\/articleshow\/133568766.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The X account of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat\u2019s US event organiser, which was suspended, has now been restored.
