RSS Criticizes Rahul Gandhi's 'Not Hindus' Remark in Parliament

The RSS condemned Rahul Gandhi's comments in the Lok Sabha, where he labeled the BJP as 'not Hindus' due to their alleged association with violence. Senior RSS official Sunil Ambekar called it unfortunate to link Hindutva with violence. Gandhi's remarks sparked protests from BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Modi.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has condemned Rahul Gandhi's controversial statement in the Lok Sabha, where he asserted that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are 'not Hindus' due to their involvement in violence and hate.

Senior RSS functionary Sunil Ambekar described it as 'unfortunate' to link Hindutva with violence. 'Whether it is the Hindutva of (Swami) Vivekananda or (Mahatma) Gandhi, it is a symbol of harmony and brotherhood,' Ambekar remarked.

The comments provoked significant backlash from BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused Gandhi of painting the entire Hindu community as violent. Gandhi clarified that his remarks were aimed specifically at the BJP, RSS, and Modi, not the broader Hindu society.
