Shame On You For Disrespecting Our Martyrs And Our Army: Rahul Gandhi Tells RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat

Congress president Rahul Gandhi slammed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today for saying the Sangh can prepare a military force, to fight on the border, in three days, for which the army takes 6-7 months to prepare. 

"The RSS Chief's speech is an insult to every Indian, because it disrespects those who have died for our nation. It is an insult to our flag because it insults every soldier who ever saluted it. Shame on you Mr Bhagwat, for disrespecting our martyrs and our Army," Gandhi said in the tweet. 

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, on Sunday, said the Sangh has the capabilities to prepare an "army" to fight for the country within three days, if such a situation arises.

The RSS chief said this while addressing the workers at Zila school ground on the last day of his six-day visit of Muzaffarpur.

"Sangh will prepare military personnel within three days which the Army would do in 6-7 months. This is our capability. Swayamsewak will be ready to take on the front if the country faces such a situation and Constitution permits to do so," he said. 

Sangh is neither a military nor a para military organisation, rather it is like a "parivarik sangathan" (family organisation) where discipline is practised like the Army, he said adding that workers are always happily ready to make supreme sacrifice for their country.
