RSS poses threat to unity: Union coal minister

Condemning former RSS Chief K S Sudarshan's controversial remarks against UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Union minister Shriprakash Jaiswal today said RSS poses a threat to the unity and its hatred policy was responsible for most of the communal riots in the country.

"RSS has always tried to divide the people and sowed seeds of hatred in them," the coal minister told PTI.

He said such outbursts by a senior party leader is highly regrettable and reflects the mindset of party workers.

On Rahul Gandhi's statement that RSS was no different from banned terror outfit SIMI, he said there is nothing wrong in what Rahul had said.
