Hindu American Foundation Issues Security Alert 'Bhagwat's NYC Event'

Ahead of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat's upcoming 'Universal Oneness Celebration' at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) has issued an official community security advisory. 

The security advisory was issued by the American non-profit advocacy and educational organisation, founded in 2003 and based in Washington, DC, which focuses on representing the interests of the Hindu American community.

Taking to X, the foundation urged attendees to remain vigilant and aware of their



surroundings and called for civil interactions during the event. "COMMUNITY ADVISORY ALERT! HAF is issuing this security alert in advance of the Universal Oneness Celebration at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Stay vigilant, remain situationally aware, and keep interactions civil," the foundation said. 

HAF said activists targeting Hindu Americans had attempted to disrupt and cancel the celebration. It urged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to uphold his duty to protect all New Yorkers, including event attendees, and ensure their safety and civil rights.
