A day after Rahul Gandhi attacked the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday (January 10, 2023) said even Congress leaders are perplexed by their former chief’s remarks. On Monday, Rahul called RSS members the “21st century Kauravas”.
On Gandhi’s remarks, Khattar told reporters, “The kind of remarks he makes, one does not understand what philosophy he follows.”
“Sometimes he becomes Shiv Bakht (Lord Shiva follower) and then asks who raises (Har Har Mahadev) Jaikara, sometimes he targets Pujaris. One is not able to understand what is his direction… It is not that only we are perplexed, even Congress people are perplexed,” Khattar said.
“Anyway, he remains a Pappu,” Khattar said referring to the term which means naive and ignorant and is often used by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to target Rahul Gandhi.
Slamming the RSS during a corner meeting in Ambala as part of his Bharat Jodo Yatra on Monday, Rahul had alleged that Sangh’s members never say “Har Har Mahadev” and “Jai Siya Ram” as they are against India’s values and “tapasya”.
