A row has erupted in the Indian Congress after an MP compared the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to Al Qaeda. In response, RSS leader Indresh Kumar stated that several Congress leaders have previously praised the RSS's discipline, patriotism, and contributions to nation-building. He claimed that this praise has caused divisions within the Congress party. The RSS is celebrating its centenary year by focusing on social harmony and nation-building. However, Kumar alleged that repeated political setbacks have led to frustration within the Congress, causing some leaders to praise the RSS. This, he said, has led to turmoil within the party. Congress MP Manickam Tagore sparked the controversy by comparing the RSS to Al Qaeda, stating that both spread hatred. He also criticized Digvijaya Singh for praising the RSS's organizational strength, calling it a 'famous self-goal'. Digvijaya Singh later clarified that he had praised only the RSS's organizational structure, not its ideology. However, the row has exposed divisions within the Congress party, with some leaders defending Singh's comments and others criticizing them. The RSS leader emphasized that the organization is working towards a society free from untouchability, pollution, and forced conversions. He also highlighted the organization's efforts to promote rule of law and social harmony. The controversy comes ahead of the Congress party's efforts to regain its footing in the Indian political landscape. The party has been facing setbacks in recent years, and the row has exposed the divisions within its ranks.
