In an issued statement, Congress asked a series of question to the right-wing organisation that is RSS ready to give up its prejudice vis-a-vis ‘women, Dalits, backward, minorities and the deprived’? Is RSS ready to ‘adapt’ to India’s foundational values of pluralism, tolerance, non-violence, secularism, and diversity?
‘Shri Mukherjee also reminded the present Modi government of following ‘Rajdharna’ founded upon our diversity, non-voilence multiculturalism and assimilation,” added Surjewala.
The Congress leader further added that “let the RSS and BJP publically commit today to change its orientation, thought process and path and accept the sagacious advise of their guest today. We await a reply.”
