Rahul Gandhi Criticizes RSS as 'All-Male Anti-Constitutional Cult'; BJP Responds
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as an "all-male, anti-constitutional cult" that views women as property of men, contrasting this with his belief in "Shiva-Shakti." He claimed many women within the RSS support his stance and urged continued protests against the RSS-BJP. The RSS marked its foundation day with chief Mohan Bhagwat warning against regime-change movements. The BJP responded by questioning Gandhi's criticisms and highlighting his foreign visits.
