Lucknow:
Upset over Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi's remarks about
the "fanatical" Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), the Uttar
Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday sent a collection
of books on the Hindu group to Gandhi to enlighten him about its
"contribution in nation building".
"We want that the 'Yuvraj' (prince) of the Congress must learn
first about RSS before giving any comments on it. For this, we
have sent a collection of six books to him," BJP spokesperson
Vijay Pathak told reporters here.
"We hope after reading the books, ignorant Rahul will gain some
knowledge about the Sangh and also the activities the organisation
undertakes for helping the citizens of the country," he added.
According to BJP officials, the six books have been sent by post
to the address of the Congress office in Delhi.
Launching a no-holds barred attack on the RSS, Gandhi in Madhya
Pradesh Wednesday branded the Sangh Parivar outfit as "fanatical"
and equated it with the outlawed Students Islamic Movement of
India (SIMI).
"Before making such remarks against RSS, it would have been better
that Rahul should have first consulted the home ministry
officials… Rahul must tender an unconditional apology for his
irresponsible and meaningless statements," said BJP state's unit
president Surya Pratap Shahi.
