Mohan Bhagwat's speech on Army an insult to every Indian: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, Feb 12 (IBNS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday condemned the speech by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangha (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, who said his organisation can prepare an Army within three days for the country.

Rahul took to Twitter to accuse Bhagwat of disrespecting the Indian Army and martyrs through his speech.

The Congress chief's tweet reads: "The RSS Chief's speech is an insult to every Indian, because it disrespects those who have died for our nation. It is an insult to our flag because it insults every soldier who ever saluted it. Shame on you Mr Bhagwat, for disrespecting our martyrs and our Army."

Addressing the workers at Zila school in Muzaffarpur, Bihar on Sunday, Bhagwat said: "Sangh will prepare military personnel within three days which the Army would do in 6-7 months. This is our capability. Swayamsewak will be ready to take on the front if the country faces such a situation and Constitution permits to do so."

The RSS chief was quoted by NDTV.

Bhagwat even added to say that the RSS is like a family organisation where workers are trained like the Army.
