LEH, Aug 18: Senior Congress leader and Lok Sabha member Rahul Gandhi today charged the RSS with trying to capture institutions created by the Constitution.
On second-day of his visit to this district in the Union Territory of Ladakh, Rahul said after independence, India got many institutions created by the Constitution including Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Planning Commission and Forces among others.
In his inter-action with youth, Rahul said now what is happening in the country that the RSS is trying to penetrates its own people in all key bodies.
“RSS decides even working of the Ministries,” the Congress leader alleged.
He claimed that some officers have stated that they have to take directions from the RSS.
On second-day of his visit, Rahul Gandhi inter-acted with youth and participated in a football match.
He also met senior Congress leaders of the Union Territory and discussed political situation and party’s affairs with them.
A large crowd had yesterday welcomed Rahul on his arrival at Leh Airport.
During ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Rahul had given enough time to Jammu and Kashmir travelling from Lakhanpur to Srinagar but hadn’t visited the Union Territory of Ladakh then. Therefore, he paid visit to Ladakh, the party leaders said.
The Congress leaders are reported to have briefed Rahul Gandhi about situation prevailing along Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh as he has been targeting the Central Government quite often on the issue.
