Rahul Gandhi Attacks RSS, Calls It 'Instrument Of Large Capital'
Rahul Gandhi is an important leader in India's Congress party.
He gave a big speech at a meeting called the Rachnatmak Congress National Convention.
In his speech, he talked about a group called the RSS.
The RSS is a very large organization in India.
Mr. Gandhi said the RSS no longer helps the small business people who used to be its friends, like goldsmiths, jewellers, blacksmiths and shopkeepers.
He said it now helps very rich business people instead.
He used strong words, calling the RSS an 'instrument of large capital.'
He said the 'original force is dead.'
Mr. Gandhi also said people should not be afraid to say what they think.
He even said his party would defend the RSS's right to speak if anyone tried to silence it.
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the RSS at the Rachnatmak Congress National Convention.
Gandhi declared that 'the RSS as original force is dead' and alleged it has become an 'instrument of large capital.'
He claimed the RSS's original social base comprised small businessmen such as goldsmiths, jewellers, blacksmiths and shopkeepers.
