Former MP and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Working President R. Dhruvanarayan on Monday stuck to his stand on comparing Taliban with RSS. Fielding reporter’s queries on his statement, which has evoked a sharp criticism from the BJP, he said a few features of Taliban and RSS were alike. “Both the organisations were proponents of religion. They have no commitment to secular values”, he said. Recalling that RSS was banned after its activist Nathuram Godse had shot and killed Mahatma Gandhi, who had brought freedom to India, Mr. Dhruvanarayan said Taliban as well as RSS were both proponents of religion and had no faith in democracy. Also, just like the Taliban kept women away from the mainstream, the RSS yields no space for women, he said.More Related News
