Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi criticised the RSS in a social media post from Vietnam, calling it an anti-constitutional cult and accusing it of viewing women as men’s property. He claimed that many women associated with the organisation privately support his side. The remarks, made while he was abroad, drew sharp reactions and political attention.
The BJP and RSS supporters have slammed the comments as insulting to a cultural organisation and an attempt to defame it on foreign soil. The Congress defended him, saying he raised issues of gender equality and constitutional values. The controversy adds to the ongoing political debate over ideological differences between Congress and RSS.
