Rahul Gandhi explained it by saying that a family has women, respect for elders, compassion and affection while the organisation has none of these.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that it is not right to call the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its associated groups 'Sangh Parivar.' He explained it by saying that a family has women, respect for elders, compassion and affection while the organisation has none of these.
Earlier, on Wednesday Rahul Gandhi had said that the incidence where the nuns who belonged to a Kerala-based congregation in Uttar Pradesh and were harassed allegedly, happened because of the Sangh Parivar's "vicious propaganda" to turn one community against another and crush minorities, reported NDTV.
"I believe it is not right to call the RSS and associated organizations Sangh Parivar -- there are women in the family, there is respect for the elderly, a sense of compassion and affection -- which is not there in the RSS," tweeted Mr Gandhi. He further added that due to this reason he has decided he will not call RSS 'Sangh Parivar'!"
