X Briefly Suspends of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s New York Event Organisers
AHEAD appealed the suspension as more than 200 Hindu-American groups backed the interfaith event, while X gave no public reason for its action.
- Days before the August 29, 2026, event, X suspended the account of AHEAD Forum, which organizes the gathering and has since appealed for reinstatement.
- AHEAD Forum is organizing the "Universal Oneness Celebration" at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, arguing its posts focused on "universal peace, oneness, harmony" and aligned with X's policies.
- Hindus for Human Rights have announced protests outside Madison Square Garden, while New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized what he described as the RSS's "exclusionary" vision.
- The Hindu American Foundation issued a security advisory urging attendees to remain vigilant, while US singer Mary Millben defended the gathering against critics including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
- Mohan Bhagwat's outreach tour spans the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom as part of the RSS centenary celebration; the RSS rejected criticism, and no public evidence connects the suspension to controversy.
