INDORE: Congress leaders on Monday reached the RSS office and unfurled the national flag in the premises. The event that started with aggression from both the sides concluded peacefully.

Area near RSS office at Ramban was turned into a fortress on Monday after Congress announced that they would unfurl the Indian flag at RSS office . The tension beefed up as hundreds of workers of Congress party marched towards the office.

All the senior officials of the police officials rushed to the spot to take control of the situation. The workers were stopped at Imli Bazar Square and only 15 of them were allowed to go to RSS office. Out of them, only four were allowed inside the RSS office.

Congress workers who seemed aggressive throughout the march mellowed down as they reached RSS office. No anti-RSS slogan was heard near the premises. RSS workers also welcomed the Congress whole heartedly.

Both congress and RSS workers were seen raising Vande Mataram slogan inside the premises. They then unfurled the national flag together, had snacks and addressed a joint press conference.

In the joint press conference, both the parties praised each other. “We are glad that such an event took place in our campus, we should work together to build this country,” RSS spokesperson said. “We appreciate that they co-operated with us and are thankful to them,” said Arun Yadav, congress state president.

However, after the event was over, the blame game between the two parties started. Congress said that RSS had never unfurled the national flag in their office. “They only talk about nationalism but do not act in the same way,” Yadav said.

RSS refuted the claims and said that every year they unfurled the national flag in the premises during Republic day and Independence Day. “We have always respected national integrity, Congress cannot teach us nationalism,” RSS spokesperson said.

While Congress alleged that their workers were not allowed inside the campus, RSS said that they did not stop anyone from entering, it was administration’s decision to not let them in.

The rally was taken out by the Congress to protest against the stand taken by the government on JNU issue. They also demanded the release of Kanhaiya Kumar and asked to remove sedition charges against him.
