RSS chief's speech an insult to every Indian: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Slamming the statement by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat that while Indian Army may take six to seven months to get ready for a war, his organisation can assemble an army in just three days, if necessary, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the statement by Mr Bhagwat was an insult to every Indian.

'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. ApologiseRSS,'Rahul said in a tweet.In his address to RSS cadres and leaders in Muzaffarpur on Sunday, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said that while Indian Army may take six to seven months to get ready for a war, his organisation can assemble an army in just three days, if necessary.

“If the nation faces such an emergency and the Constitution allows it, RSS is ready to tackle any crisis confronting the nation. The Army may take six to seven days to prepare for a war, but RSS can put together an army in just three days, if necessary,” said Bhagwat in his address .“It is within RSS’s powers to do so,” he added.(UNI)
