Guwahati: BJP hits back at APCC president Gaurav Gogoi’s remarks on RSS

Staff reporter

Guwahati: State BJP president Dilip Saikia while interacting with media on Monday said, “I proudly declare that I am a swayamsevak of the RSS. RSS runs through every vein in my body. RSS means welfare of all and service to all.”

Saikia while responding to Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gaurav Gogoi’s attempts to malign the RSS, Saikia asserted, “If I have learnt to donate blood 36 times, it is because the RSS taught me. Whenever a disaster strikes the country, it is the RSS volunteers who are first to respond.”

Saikia further stated that even Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, visited an RSS camp in Wardha, Maharashtra in 1934 and made appreciative remarks about the organization. Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, also permitted RSS participation in the national parade, a historical fact Gaurav Gogoi should study.

Taking a dig at Gaurav Gogoi, Saikia said, “Those who have spent half their lives in air-conditioned rooms can never truly understand what the RSS is or what it does. The RSS works among the common people.”
