A day after announcing his resignation as Congress President, Rahul Gandhi spoke to reporters in Mumbai while he appeared for a defamation case filed by an RSS worker.

He said he will fight the RSS ideology with ten times more the rigour he has shown over the last five years. Shortly after, the official Twitter handle of Congress put out a tweet that alleged RSS of being “anti-India”.

‘Let’s Hope It’s Not Too Late’

Other Twitter users also began tweeting with the hashtag #RSSvsIndia. Debapriya Sen said, “The label of “nationalist” – which the Sangh Parivar has conveniently ascribed to themselves is an attempt to shrug off the burden of historical shame they ought to bear for having betrayed the national struggle for independence.”
