RSS suppresses women, has no female members: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the RSS of “suppressing women” and claimed that that was the reason why the organisation has no female members. Gandhi, who is leading the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra, on Wednesday alleged that the “plan of the BJP and RSS is to spread fear” and his march was to stand against fear and hatred.

The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra,’ which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, is passing through Rajasthan. It will complete 100 days on Friday. The yatra resumed from the Bhadoti area of Sawai Madhopur on Wednesday and reached Badhshapura.

The former Congress president also accused the BJP and RSS of “insulting” Goddess Sita by invocation ‘Jai Shree Ram’ instead of ‘Jai Siyaram’ which acknowledges both Lord Ram and Goddess Sita.

Addressing a street corner meeting at Bagdi village in Dausa district, Gandhi said, “You will not find a woman in their organisation  you will not find a woman in RSS, they suppress women, they do not allow women to enter their organisation.” The RSS has a women wing named Rashtra Sevika Samiti.
