Union minister Kiren Rijiju today described RSS as the "most patriotic organisation" in the country and said Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's comments on the Sangh was a "political game".
"RSS is the most patriotic organisation in this country. No other organisation even comes close to it. How can you make a sweeping comment about an organisation like that. It's bizarre," he told reporters here.
The Minister of State for Home was replying to a question on Rahul's assertion in the Supreme Court that he stood by his statement that people associated with RSS killed Mahatma Gandhi.
"If you do that you have to stand behind the comments. It's a political game being played by the Congress party," he said.
Rahul has told the Supreme Court that he stood by every word of his statement against people associated with RSS on the issue of Gandhi's killing and was ready to face trial before a Maharashtra court which has issued summons to him as an accused in the case.
