The Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) launched a scathing attack on Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and his comments on 'devtas' during his US visit. Union Minister Giriraj Singh led the charge, criticising Gandhi for his statements and accusing him of praising anti-India elements and defaming the country on foreign soil. In a sharp response to Rahul Gandhi 's comments about the RSS, Singh said, " Rahul Gandhi , who was stalled by the country with just 99 seats, instead of praising the country, is talking against it. He is singing songs of praise for anti-India enemies like China. He should have cases of anti-nationalism registered against him for praising China. To know and understand RSS, Rahul Gandhi will have to take multiple lives and call his grandmother. RSS is a representative of the country's culture, which Rahul Gandhi will never understand. His sole purpose is to defame India on a global platform. He should be in jail for insulting the country."
