On the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), alleging that the organization sided with the British during India’s freedom struggle. In a social media post, Kharge claimed that the RSS did not hoist the national flag for 52 years and accused it of misusing the Indian Constitution. His remarks come amid growing political tensions, as his son and MP Priyank Kharge has also been vocally critical of the RSS in recent weeks.
