"The kind of language 'not just defeating but smashing RSS' byRahul Gandhi exhibits the undemocratic and intolerant mindset of Congress. All democratic and well meaning forces should protest it.
"RSS condemns such undemocratic attitude, intemperate language and intolerant mind set of Congress party," head of RSS' communication cell Manmohan Vaidya said in a statement.
He said the Congress and the Nehru family have carried this "hatred and intolerance" since Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's time and have not been able to arrest the growth of RSS or create a dent in its popularity.
Rahul Gandhi had yesterday said that Congress will "not just defeat but smash the RSS". He termed the poll verdict today in Bihar as a defeat of the "divisive agenda of Narendra Modi, BJP and RSS".
