Ready to be tried for defaming RSS : Rahul Gandhi tells Supreme Court
"I stand by what I said," Gandhi told the judges through his lawyer as he has been accused of blaming the RSS, ideological mentor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
He reiterated that he did not blame the RSS as an institution for Gandhiji's assassination and that what he said has been misinterpreted by the complainant, an RSS activist from Mahrashtra.
The Congress Vice President made certain remarks attacking the RSS during electioneering in 2014.
Though he asserted at the last court hearing that he had not hold the RSS collectively responsible for Gandhiji's assassination in 1948, the RSS claimed that he was backtracking and demanded public apology from him.
