Cong president declares war on RSS agenda

Sonia expressed her shock that in the land of the Mahatma and Sardar Patel, a government was out to push through the “vicious” agenda of its parent organisation RSS. Gujarat was a clear proof, she said, of the secret agenda of the Sangh Parivar and the decision to lift the ban on government staff involving with the RSS has “shown their true colours.”

“Bapu’s assassination wasthe result of a political and communal ideology. Fingers were pointed at the RSS then and even today the organisation is at work,” she said, “It was unfortunate that the same forces today rule Gujarat.”

She gave the slogan Insaaf ya Jail when pledging that the Congress would fight to prevent divisive forces like RSS from distorting the Constitution and splitting the country on communal lines. She was here to address a public meeting and pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary .

During her speech, Sonia asked, “How could they impose their agenda on the people through government employees?” She said the Gujarat Government’s move would split government employees into groups. Earlier, three Congress CMs Digvijay Singh (MP), Ashok Gehlot (Rajasthan) and Vilasrao Deshmukh (Maharashtra) criticised the Gujarat Government’s decision.

Singh asserted, “If any government employee in Madhya Pradesh attends RSS shakha, they would be thrown out of their jobs; we will also not allow a Sangh Parivarconvention proposed to be held in our state.” The other two were not as vocal, but affirmed their opposition to the Gujarat decision.
