RSS does not figure in any legal case in Mahatma Gandhi assassination: Vaidya

Jaipur, September 8 

RSS is an open organisation, people are free to join or leave and its name never figured in any legal case pertaining to Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination, its Akhil Bhartiya Prachar Pramukh Dr Manmohan Vaidya said on Thursday at the end of a day long session in Udaipur.

On allegations levelled by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, Dr Vaidya said the two commissions set up on Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination also did not mention the name of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. 

“The process of court should be regarded. This is a job of the court to decide if a person who makes allegations is guilty or not”, he said. 

In an indirect jibe at the Congress vice president, Dr Vaidya said,” Ye voh log hain jo nyayik prakriya dwara ghoshit atankvadion ki baithak mein jakar unka gungan karte hain (These are those people who attend terrorists’ meeting and hail them even after the court’s declaration)”.

“If they have any evidence, then establish it, such persons have no courage to face truth, hence running from court to court”, he alleged. 

Referring to the Udaipur meeting, he said, it was routine gathering of RSS activists who come from all parts of the country.
