Former president Pranab Mukherjee will address the concluding RSS ceremony Tritiya Varsh Training program. Mukerjee’s attendance at this event has caused massive political controversy.
The veteran Congress leader reached the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur at 5:30 P.M. He was welcomed by the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat.
The former president will also visit the RSS founder K. B. Hedgewar memorial to offer floral tributes. Congress members have expressed uneasiness over Mukherjee’s decision to attend the event. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh wrote to the former president requesting him not to attend the event.
Former finance minister P. Chidambaram urged him to take the opportunity to tell RSS everything wrong with their ideology. Even Mukherjee’s daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee also disapproved of the visit to RSS.
Hope @CitiznMukherjee now realises from todays’ incident, how BJP dirty tricks dept operates. Even RSS wouldn’t believe that u r going 2 endorse its views in ur speech. But the speech will be forgotten, visuals will remain & those will be circulated with fake statements. 1/2
