The BJP on Thursday raked up past cases of rape and murder involving Congress leaders to wonder if Rahul Gandhi can be linked with these heinous crimes after he reiterated that he stood by every single word he said against the RSS in reference to the killing of Mahatma Gandhi.

The party also accused Rahul of lying to target the RSS, as it asked him why the UPA government did not take any action against the Hindutva organisation during its 10 years in power.

“Those living in glass houses should not throw stones at others. Will Rahul Gandhi be linked with the rape and murder of the Dalit woman Bhanwari Devi or killing of Naina Sahni because those accused of these crimes were from Congress?

“The truth is that the RSS has only grown in strength despite attempts by the likes of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to target it. It just shows Rahul Gandhi’s ideological bankruptcy and we do not take him seriously,” BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
