Rahul spreading hatred, RSS tells EC in complaint
The Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh filed a complaint with the Election Commission on
Friday against Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for his speech at
Sonale village in Thane, Maharashtra, calling it “politically motivated
false propaganda”.Alleging Rahul had made several false,
unverified and unfounded allegations against the sangh during his
Maharashtra tour, RSS spokesman Ram Madhav said, “The complainant wishes
to point out that the statement by Rahul Gandhi was made deliberately,
with ulterior political motive … equating the RSS with BJP and to spread
hatred against both in sections of society.”Charging Rahul with violating the model
code of conduct, the RSS demanded “appropriate” action against him. In
the contentious speech, Rahul had referred to the RSS and said “… They
have killed Gandhiji, today they talk about Gandhiji.” RSS alleged that
the unverified statements against it were made in a Muslim-dominated
district. “He linked RSS to the BJP, a rival of the Congress,” the
complaint reads.
Stressing that the media coverage of the speech by several TV
channels and print media was sufficient evidence, the organization
argued that such statements were made to spread hatred.“The complainant submits that Rahul, by making offensive remarks in a predominantly Muslim area, has sent a message to the community that the RSS got Mahatma Gandhi killed. The utterances were clearly aimed at and amounted to an activity which may aggravate differences and create mutual hatred between Hindus and Muslims,” the complaint read.
Madhav, who is member, central executive committee, RSS, said he filed the complaint in Bangalore as all senior RSS functionaries are here in connection with the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha.
RSS planning legal action against Rahul Gandhi says Ram Madhav
Taking
offence to the remarks made by Rahul Gandhi which accused Rahstriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of killing Mahatma Gandhi, the volunteer Hindu
nationalist group is planning to initiate legal action against
the Congress vice president and also register a complaint with the
Election Commission.Ram Madhav, the RSS
spokesperson tweeted earlier in the day “Legal action will be initiated
against Rahul Gandhi for his irresponsible utterances linking RSS with
Gandhi’s murder. Complaint will be filed with EC too.Reportedly, the Gandhi scion
had accused the Sangh of taking active part in the murder of Mahatma
Gandhi during his political rally in Maharashtra yesterday.
