In a stinging attack on the RSS Chief over his remark on Indian Army, Congress President Rahul Gandhi today tweeted, ‘Shame on you, Mr Bhagwat.’
Blasting Mohan Bhagwat for his comment, Gandhi took to Twitter and said, ‘The RSS Chief's speech is an insult to every Indian, because it disrespects those who have died for our nation.’
‘It is an insult to our flag because it insults every soldier who ever saluted it. Shame on you Mr Bhagwat, for disrespecting our martyrs and our Army,’ he added.
The acerbic tweet comes a day after the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh chief said his organisation has the ability to prepare an "army" to fight for the country within three days, if such a situation arises.
The RSS chief said this while addressing the workers at Zila school ground on the last day of his six-day visit of Muzaffarpur in Bihar.
"Sangh will prepare military personnel within three days which the Army would do in 6-7 months. This is our capability. (Swayamsewak will be ready to take on the front if the country faces such a situation and constitution permits to do so)," Bhagwat had said.
Sangh is neither a military nor a para military organisation, rather it is like a "parivarik sangathan" (family organisation) where discipline is practised like the Army, he said adding that workers are always happily ready to make supreme sacrifice for their country.
Bhagwat exhorted the RSS workers to set an example of good conduct in their personal, family and social life.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has defended Bhagwat. ‘Indian Army is our pride. In emergency situation(not congress emergency) every Indian must volunteer to stand with Defence Forces. Bhagwat ji only said it takes 6-7 months for a person to be a trained soldier & if Constitution permits RSS cadres has the ability to contribute,’ Rijiju said in a tweet on Monday.
