Stung by Rahul Gandhi linking it with the murder of Mahatma Gandhi, RSS on Friday filed a complaint with Karnataka electoral authorities for his “malicious remarks”, saying it violated the model code of conduct.
“We have filed the complaint with the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer against Rahul Gandhi for his malicious remarks that RSS people had shot Mahatma Gandhi dead,” RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav said.
Gandhi’s statement was made deliberately with “ulterior political motive”, Madhav said after lodging the complaint with Chief Electoral Officer Anil Kumar Jha here.
He also said by making such an “offending” remark in a predominantly Muslim area of Bhiwandi, Gandhi had sent a message to Muslims that RSS got Gandhi killed, thereby hinting that it might do the same to them also.
