Rajdharma: Congress or RSS, to whom Pranab Mukherjee added a lesson in his speech? Big debate

The RSS has said that former president Pranab Mukherjee, in his speech at the organisation headquarters here, reminded the glorious history of the nation while highlighting inclusiveness, pluralism and unity in diversity as foundation of India.
"Mukherjee's address recalled the glorious history of the nation...5,000-year-old cultural heritage of the country. Our state system may have changed but our values remain the same. He also highlighted inclusiveness, pluralism and unity in diversity as foundation of Bharat," RSS prachar pramukh (official spokesperson) Arun Kumar told PTI last night and thanked Mukherjee for attending the RSS meet.
Several Congress leaders today heaped praises on Pranab Mukherjee, saying the former president had emerged "taller" after telling the RSS about India's pluralism, a day after many from the party had criticised him for visiting the Sangh headquarters.
Mukherjee had yesterday in Nagpur warned that any attempt to define India through "religion, hatred, dogmas and intolerance would dilute our existence" and said public discourses must be freed of all forms of violence.
Former Finance minister P Chidambaram said Mukherjee had told the RSS what was correct about the Congress's ideology.
"Happy that Mr Pranab Mukherjee told the RSS what is right about Congress' ideology. It was his way of saying what is wrong about RSS' ideology," he said on Twitter.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said one should not judge a man by the invitation he gets, but by what he speaks. Mukherjee's address vindicates this, he said.
"Very happy that my stand from day one fully vindicated viz don't judge a man by the invitation or the host's identity but by what he says and does at the event. repeated this and Pranabda's address fully vindicates this view. He is first ex Congman to preach some lessons to RSS," Singhvi said on Twitter.
