Rahul Gandhi's speech in the U.S. criticizing the RSS sparked controversy and debate among political circles in India.
The BJP, as a staunch supporter of the RSS, strongly opposed Rahul Gandhi's remarks and labelled them as 'anti-national' and 'unpatriotic'.
The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of spreading false and defamatory information about the RSS, leading to a heated exchange of accusations between the two parties.
The controversy surrounding Rahul Gandhi's speech further intensified the already existing ideological differences between the Congress party (to which Rahul Gandhi belongs) and the BJP.
Rahul Gandhi's comments and the subsequent backlash highlighted the deep-rooted political divide in India on issues related to nationalism and cultural identities.
