Shrugging off the growing unease within the Congress party ranks, former President and veteran Congress leader Pranab Mukherjee addressed young recruits of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh at the organisation’s ‘Tritiya Varsh Varg’ event on Thursday, 7 June.
Mukherjee's acceptance of an invitation to attend the event saw immense opposition from the Congress party, including Mukherjee's daughter Sharmistha.
Ahead of the event, Mukherjee visited the birthplace of Sangh founder KB Hegdewar.
Here are the key takeaways from Mukherjee's event, which was held at the Sangh's headquarters in Nagpur.
