NEW DELHI: Illegal immigration, changing demography in several states, particularly in border areas, the need for a national register of citizens (NRC), and atrocities against minorities in the neighbourhood are among the key issues that will be taken up at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) upcoming annual meeting in Bengaluru that starts from March 21, said people aware of the details on Thursday.

At the three-day meeting of the Sangh's highest decision-making body, the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, which will be attended by the RSS brass led by its chief Mohan Bhagwat, the organisation will take stock of the year-long activities but also identify areas which the Sangh and its offshoots will focus on.

The Sangh, which is the ideological fount of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will also draw the road map for its centenary celebrations, which will begin in October, to coincide with its foundation day on the festival of Vijayadashami.
