Former President Pranab Mukherjee is in Nagpur today (Thursday, June 07) to attend and address an RSS event.
Mukherjee’s decision to accept the RSS’ invitation has generated a lot of controversies. While many Congress leaders expressed shock and reservations, RSS leaders welcomed it.
“By going to Nagpur, you are giving BJP and RSS full handle to plant false stories, spread a false rumor,” said Sharmishtha Mukherjee, Congress leader and daughter of Pranab Mukherjee in her Tweet message.
“The outrage amongst certain sections of the political class on former President’s acceptance of an invitation to be the chief guest for the concluding ceremony of the RSS’s Tritiya Varsh Training programme smacks of intellectual intolerance,” said Manmohan Vaidya, joint secretary of the RSS.
