Responding to the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks, Kerala Leader of Opposition and Congress leader VD Satheesan claimed that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh never took part in the freedom struggle and accused the Sangh of “dividing the people”.
“RSS has been making a point that they are against the idea of India. They never participated in the freedom struggle. The Sangh Parivar is dividing the people. Their hate campaign is going on,” the Congress leader told the media on Wednesday.
Earlier today, the leader of the opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi condemned Bhagwat’s statement, and called it an insult to every Indian.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot also questioned Bhagwat’s reported remarks.
“What does it mean that you (RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat) don’t consider 15th August 1947 as the day of independence? The people of India and Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi fought and made sacrifices for independence. This must be his way of thinking. It is wrong to ignore the contribution of numerous people in India attaining independence…,” Pilot said.
