If a thing that you are saying is not heard, then you can protest. But it should be to create consensus not divide,&#8221; he said, adding &#8220;agitations should aim for system correction rather than targeting individuals.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Bhagwat advocated a hike in education budgets, better ties with Pakistan, and fewer bans on social media. He said the country&#8217;s development model needed to be altered to fight climate change. <!-- -->Backing demands for a hike in govt&#8217;s expenditure on education, he said, &#8220;6% spending of the budget is long pending.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>When asked how India should regulate social media given that some nations were restricting access to children below 16, Bhagwat said he opposed prohibitions. &#8220;If you ban things they simply go into illegal market and are further proliferated.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The RSS chief said there was a need to uphold traditional family structures while creating space for same-sex relationships. He said while Indian society has a tradition of accommodating non-binary individuals, the traditional marriage framework must be unchanged. &#8220;We must not tamper with the vivaah system,&#8221; he said, but suggested that &#8220;a system should be created for them (same-sex relationships). A law should be made as to how they can stay together, this should not be mixed with marriage.<!-- -->&#8220;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Discussing if dialogue should be maintained with Pakistan and China, Bhagwat said during conflict, citizens must align with govt directives, but long-term ties should not be permanently severed. <!-- -->&#8220;Pakistan was just a part of India less than 100 years ago. Pakistan, as a whole, is not the enemy of Indians.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Explaining the absence of women in the RSS apex decision-making body, Bhagwat said &#8220;the women&#8217;s body have themselves opted to remain independent and can join the main body whenever they choose to withdraw that mandate&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>On economic disparities and employment, Bhagwat cited a societal lack of respect for manual work as the cause for intense competition for govt jobs despite shortages in other fields. &#8220;Our society has no dignity for labour, that&#8217;s why people run behind govt jobs,&#8221; he said. He said, &#8220;reservation will continue till society discriminates.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
