The delegation had met BJP leaders on Monday as part of efforts to enhance “inter-party communication”, but its engagement with the leadership of Hindutva’s ideological fountainhead marked a rare outreach. The RSS remained tight-lipped on Tuesday’s meeting, with leaders privately describing it as a “pure courtesy call”. BJP leaders said the meeting followed a recent thaw in India-China ties after the 2020 Galwan clashes. A BJP delegation headed by party general secretary Arun Singh discussed at length ways to advance inter-party communication between the BJP and the CPC. The CPC delegation also met Congress leaders on Tuesday.
