No difference between India and Bharat: Digvijaya

January 04, 2013 19:43

Congress today slammed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat over his controversial comments that rape is mainly prevalent in urban India and does not happen in rural areas, asking the saffron outfit to get in sync with reality.

"He (Bhagwat) is very confused. I think they all (RSS) have the same problem. I think it is better that they all contemplate and come out with more clarity in thought and action. That kind of dialogue is not relevant in real life," party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary said at the AICC briefing.

Responding sharply to Bhagwat's comments, AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh said, "This reflects RSS's mentality because there is no difference between India and Bharat."
