Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused PM Modi's "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign of attempting to appropriate a national symbol that the RSS, his ideological kin, have long disowned.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused PM Modi's "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign of attempting to appropriate a national symbol that the RSS, his ideological kin, have long disowned. Ramesh pointed to historical instances where the RSS criticized the Indian flag, including M.S. Golwalkar's disapproval of the tricolour as the national flag and the RSS's mouthpiece describing it as "injurious to a country". Ramesh also highlighted that the RSS did not consistently hoist the tricolour at its headquarters until 2001, questioning the legitimacy of Modi's campaign.
