Rahul Gandhi Criticizes RSS on Gender Views; BJP Responds on Women's Role
On the RSS's foundation day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the organisation as an "all-male, anti-constitutional cult" that views women as subordinate to men, contrasting this with his belief in "Shiva-Shakti." He claimed many women within the RSS support his stance and accused the group of promoting gender inequality. The BJP responded by highlighting the RSS's active women's wing and questioned Gandhi's party's record on women in leadership. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat cautioned against protests aimed at regime change, warning they could deepen societal divisions.
