Guwahati: RSS on Thursday filed a defamation case against Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi. This comes in wake of claims made my Rahul Gandhi that members of the organisation prevented him from entering Barpetta Satra in December 2015.
A controversy had broken out over Rahul Gandhi's charge that he was stopped from entering a Vaishanvite monastery in Barpeta by RSS workers during his recent visit to Assam, an allegation denied by the temple chief in December.
As the claim by the Congress Vice President triggered a political slugfest, the BJP alleged it was "fabricated", saying RSS does not run temples and without naming anyone said "wrong messages" are being spread to "mislead" people. Rahul claimed that what happened to him at the temple during his visit to Assam in December 2015 was BJP's style of politics which was "unacceptable".
