Mahatma Gandhi called RSS ‘communal body with totalitarian outlook’, claims Congress

Congress asserted Thursday that Mahatma Gandhi labeled RSS a “communal body with totalitarian outlook,” citing his secretary’s book. This statement came as Congress leaders honored Gandhi, contrasting with BJP’s tribute to the RSS. Spokesperson Jairam Ramesh highlighted that Sardar Patel banned RSS five months after Gandhi’s observation and later warned against groups challenging the national flag.
