Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lauded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for their contribution to nation-building, despite historical controversies. Speaking at the RSS's centenary celebration, Modi acknowledged the organization's commitment to the nation.
However, the Congress party swiftly responded, referencing a historical critique by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. In a letter from July 1948, Patel mentioned how the RSS's activities allegedly contributed to an environment that led to Mahatma Gandhi's assassination.
Despite past criticisms and bans, Modi highlighted the RSS's dedication, stating that the group has remained resilient and focused on their principle of 'nation first', defending themselves against various challenges throughout history.
