The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday (October 31, 2025) criticised Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), comparing them to the language used by the “Popular Front of India (PFI), the Muslim League, and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind.”
In a statement to the media, BJP MP and spokesperson Sambit Patra said Mr. Kharge should read the history of the RSS and what great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Bhimrao Ambedkar, and senior Congress leaders have said about the Sangh.
The Congress chief had said that, in his personal opinion, the RSS should be banned.

On the issue of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination, Mr. Patra said the Kapur Commission had found that the RSS had absolutely nothing to do with it, adding that the Supreme Court’s judgment in the matter was also in the public domain.
