Guwahati, Assam: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday went all guns blazing at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for their "divisive" ideology.

  1. Rahul said, “I will not be deterred and will continue to fight for the poor, unemployed youth, for the unity and harmony of this country, no matter how many cases are filed against me”.


 

  1. Rahul slammed RSS and accused it of dividing the country. “I am against the ideology of the RSS and all such other organisation, which is there to divide India and are harmful for this country”.


 

  1. Regardless of which religion they come from, I am for the unity of this country and for the love and affection between the people," Gandhi said.


 

  1. Gandhi said people are framing him falsely because he is “fighting for the poor people of this country and for the rights of the farmers, unemployed youth who have aspirations, who have dreams and who are being denied those aspirations.


 

  1. The idea is to make sure that I do not fight for the young, unemployed youth," he added. The Congress vice-president is facing another criminal defamation charge because of the speech he made in Bhiwandi.


RSS, the ideological mentor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) filed a defamation case against Rahul Gandhi for his speech at a rally in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, in 2014.
