Telangana BJP demanded Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to apologise for his remarks on RSS and for making baseless allegations against the organisation.
Party vice president and former MLA N.V.S.S. Prabhakar claimed that even Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, grand father of Mr. Rahul Gandhi, himself had appreciated the self-less services of RSS during India-China war while addressing the nation during the 1963 Republic Day celebrations.
Dr. Ambedkar too had attended a RSS programme at Karad of Satara district on January 2, 1940 and written in a book stating that RSS is a patriotic organization while Mahatma Gandhi had attended RSS camp and Sakha in 1934 at Vardha and in Delhi on September 16, 1947 describing RSS as a ‘disciplined organization’, he claimed.
Therefore, the BJP leader has advised Mr. Gandhi to read Indian history properly before making objectionable comments.
In a separate statement, party spokespersons N.V. Subash also criticised Mr. Gandhi for the ‘reckless and irresponsible’ accusations against the Election Commission of India (ECI), terming them as a ‘deliberate attempt to erode public trust in a constitutionally mandated institution’.
Despite repeated clarifications from the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar that no eligible voter will be deleted during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the Opposition continues to peddle falsehoods.
The BJP leader accused Mr. Gandhi of ‘leading an endless drama’ designed not to protect voters but to malign the credibility of the Election Commission. Neither the EC nor the voters will be cowed down by such ‘manufactured slander’, since credibility people of India have faith in free and fair elections, he added.
