Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Thursday mentioned it’s not proper to name the RSS and its related teams ‘Sangh Parivar’ as a household has girls, respect for elders, compassion and affection, and the organisation has none of those.
Gandhi’s remarks come a day after he mentioned the alleged harassment of nuns belonging to a Kerala-based congregation in Uttar Pradesh was a results of the Sangh Parivar’s “vicious propaganda” to pitch one group in opposition to one other and trample on minorities.
In a tweet in Hindi on Thursday, he mentioned he’ll not discuss with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as ‘Sangh Parivar’, united household. “I believe it is not right to call the RSS and associated organizations Sangh Parivar — there are women in the family, there is respect for the elderly, a sense of compassion and affection — which is not there in the RSS,” he mentioned on Twitter.
“Now I will not call RSS ‘Sangh Parivar’!” the Congress chief added.
