In a sharp statement, Congress leader Priyank Kharge condemned the RSS and BJP for allegedly disguising hatred as a new political package. He called the move a dangerous tactic aimed at polarising society.
Congress spokesperson Priyank Kharge publicly denounced the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for what he described as a new strategy to "dress up hatred". He said the parties were attempting to disguise divisive rhetoric as a political package.
Kharge’s remarks came amid growing concerns about communal tensions in the country. He warned that such tactics could deepen societal rifts and undermine democratic values.
The statement was issued during a press briefing where Kharge urged political leaders to reject hate‑based narratives and promote inclusive dialogue. He called for accountability and transparency from all parties involved.
The BJP and RSS have not yet responded to the criticism. Analysts suggest the comments could intensify the already heated political debate on communalism and national unity.
Observers note that Kharge’s stance aligns with Congress’s broader campaign to counter perceived communal narratives in Indian politics.
