Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi attacks RSS

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi attacked the RSS today, saying the right-wing organisation had accepted the national flag only after its ideological offspring the BJP came to power in 2014.

The Gandhi scion also underscored the ideological difference between the RSS and the Congress, which views patriotism and nationalism with a perspective that is poles apart.

He pointed out that the attacks on Dalits in Gujarat were proof of the RSS’s discrimination against certain sections of the society.

“There’re two ways of viewing the country. One says ‘this country is mine’, the other says ‘I belong to the country’. That’s the difference between RSS and us,” Rahul said.

“Jab tak inhone (RSS) Hindustan mein raaj nahi kiya tab tak jhande ko salute nahi mara,” Rahul said at the ‘Save Composite Culture’ event called by JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav in Delhi.
