TIL Desk/National/UK/ Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday likened the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to the Islamist group Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world and alleged that the outfit is trying to ‘change’ the nature of India and ‘capture’ its institutions. The Muslim Brotherhood is the oldest political Islamist group in the Arab world. It is not allowed to operate as an official political party in some Arab countries.
Answering questions at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, Gandhi accused the RSS of trying to change the nature of India and capture India’s institutions. “We are fighting an organisation RSS which is trying to change the nature of India,” he said. “The RSS is trying to change the nature of India. Other parties haven’t tried to capture India’s institutions.
“The RSS’ idea is similar to the idea of Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world,” Gandhi told the audience at the London-based think-tank. There is no other organisation in India which wants to capture India’s institutions, he said. When the Congress Party comes to power, Samajwadi (Party) comes to power, the Bahujan Samaj Party comes to power or the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) comes, they don’t try to attack and capture India’s institutions, he said.
