NEW DELHI: Addressing the audience at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London on Friday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi equated Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) with the Muslim Brotherhood and accused the BJP of diluting the autonomy of country's institutions."RSS's idea is similar to the idea of Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world," said Gandhi, while addressing a gathering in London's IISS.For the uninitiated, the Muslim Brotherhood, also referred to as MB, is an Egypt-based Islamist Organization, which believes in implementing Islamic law and is banned by the governments of several countries, such as Bahrain, Egypt, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.Rahul also alleged that the right-wing organization has tried to overrule key structures of India. "The idea of demonetization came directly from RSS, bypassed the Finance Minister & RBI, and was planted in Prime Minister's head," said Gandhi.The Congress president is on a four-day visit to the United Kingdom and European Union, and was addressing an event organized by the Indian Overseas Congress, a frontal organization of Congress party, to strengthen its outreach among the Indian diaspora abroad.This was the Congress leader's first major foreign policy address, since he took over the reins of the Congress as president. During his address, he also touched upon several other issues such as the Doklam crisis, the necessity of decentralization of power etc.
