Congress urges US to ban RSS, cites USCIRF report, invokes Sardar Patel; BJP attacks Rahul Gandhi

The Congress party recently tweeted on X supporting the USCIRF report, which recommends a ban on the RSS, seizure of its assets, and barring RSS members from entering the US. The move has triggered a sharp response from the BJP, with MP Sambit Patra stating that the report is subjective and unreliable, and that the MEA has rejected its findings. Patra accused Congress of standing against India while criticizing the BJP and PM Modi. Congress cited historical context, noting that Sardar Patel had banned the RSS after Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination and argued that the organization threatens national unity and religious freedom.
