The RSS has said that in a 1949 Court Judgement it was proved that the organisation did not have a hand in Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. The RSS has also claimed that the Kapur Commission instituted by the Congress Government had given them a clean chit in the matter but the Congress has opined that Sardar Patel through his letters had held the RSS responsible for Mahatma’s death. With Rahul Gandhi having held the RSS responsible, the organisation has decided to nail him for his irresponsible statement. A defamation case has been filed against him. Any apology from Rahul now would be an embarrassment for the Congress. The case is therefore likely to linger long and Rahul Gandhi will now defend himself in the matter.
