Reacting to Congress leader Digvijaya Singh’s positive comments about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Congress MP Manickam Tagore strongly criticized the RSS, stating that the Congress has nothing to learn from what he called a hate-driven organization. Tagore emphasized that the RSS promotes hatred and propaganda based on hate, comparing its operations to those of al-Qaeda in spreading hatred within the country.
In contrast to Singh’s remarks praising the BJP and RSS for their organizational prowess, Tagore highlighted the mass connection of the Congress party, asserting that it is deeply rooted among the people at the grassroots level. He firmly stated that the Congress does not need any lessons from the RSS, emphasizing the party’s strong grassroots presence and connection with the people.
The political controversy sparked by Singh’s social media post, where he lauded the BJP and RSS for their organizational strength, led to a divided reaction within the Congress. While some leaders defended Singh’s acknowledgment of organizational efficiency, others like Manickam Tagore vehemently rejected any praise for the RSS. Tagore’s statement stood out as a forceful rebuttal from within the Congress, clearly distancing the party from any perceived admiration of the RSS.
