Dharmendra Pradhan hit back

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said, “There has been no change in the repressive thinking of the Congress party since the Emergency till today. Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement of banning RSS is an example of anti-democratic mentality.” He further said, “Congress has always ignored the legacy of Sardar Patel and is now using his name to spread lies about a national-serving organization like RSS. The same people who had earlier banned the RSS to save power are now showing the same mentality.”

He also said that when Congress was in power, it promoted radical organizations like PFI, whereas RSS has continuously worked for the unity and integrity of the country.

Statement of BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan

BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan said that Kharge’s statement is part of Congress’s strategy of frustration and distraction. He said, “Public anger has erupted in Bihar and across the country over Rahul Gandhi making fun of Chhath Puja. To divert attention from that anger, Kharge ji has given an absurd statement on RSS.”

Kesavan further said, “When Prime Minister Modi exposed the conspiracies of Congress on Sardar Patel’s legacy, the party was stunned. The entire country knows that Sardar Patel had called RSS a nationalist organization. Rahul Gandhi should tell what he had to say on the letter written by Patel to Nehru, in which the National Herald case was mentioned.”

There were several attempts to ban RSS – Naresh Bansal

Rajya Sabha MP Naresh Bansal said, “There were several attempts to ban RSS, but the Sangh emerged stronger every time. RSS prepares nationalist youth who are dedicated to serving the country.” He said, “Nehru ji had said that there would be no saffron in the country, but today the whole of India is colored in saffron. The leaders who make statements like Kharge are just trying to please their masters.”
