I stand by every single word, tweets Rahul Gandhi on RSS remarks

New Delhi, Aug 25 (IBNS): Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said he stands by his earlier views on the RSS and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi even though his reply to the Supreme Court earlier on the issue was seen as a "U turn" on his comments.

"I will never stop fighting the hateful & divisive agenda of the RSS. I stand by every single word I said," tweeted the Office of Rahul Gandhi even as earlier Union Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday lauded him for his 'U turn' on RSS statement in the apex court and said that 'wisdom has prevailed' on the Gandhi scion.

Party senior leader Digvijaya Singh also backed Rahul Gandhi and echoed that Gandhi stood by his words.

Gandhi had earlier blamed the RSS for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and had refused to apologise after the right wing organisation demanded apology.

However, in an interesting turn of events, the Gandhi scion told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that he did not blame the organisation but people associated with it.

"Good, Rahul finally admitted before Supreme Court that the RSS is not accused in assassination of Mahatma Gandhi," Naidu said welcoming Rahul's new stand.

"Wisdom has prevailed.It may be a U turn but a good turn.RSS a patriotic organization.RSS- Ready for Selfless Service anywhere any time," he added.
