A day after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan attacked the Rashtriya Swayam Sewak (RSS) at the UN, the Hindutva organisation on Saturday, 28 September said that he has made its name synonymous with India.
Senior RSS functionary Krishna Gopal also added wryly that Khan has ended up spreading the RSS' name and prayed that the Pakistan prime minister does not stop now.
“The RSS is only in India and for India. It has no branch anywhere else in the world. Why is Pakistan angry with us? It means that if it is angry with Sangh, then it is angry with India. The RSS and India have now become synonymous.”Krishna Gopal, RSS leader
The RSS joint general secretary further said, “We also wanted that the world should see India and the RSS as one and the same, and not two separate entitles. Our Imran sahab has done this job very well and we congratulate him for that. He is spreading our name.”
Gopal, who was speaking at an event in New Delhi, said that people who are victims of terrorism or opposed to it now realise that the RSS is also against it.
He said, “That is why, Khan is attacking the RSS.”
Twitter Went Abuzz With Mixed Reactions
Khan, while speaking about RSS, also said that Prime Minister Modi is a life member of the organisation.
