LIVE! Discipline of RSS is as good as that of LeT: Kumar Vishwas

April 14, 2014 19:02

Having got into trouble for praising RSS, Aam Aadmi Party candidate against Rahul Gandhi from Amethi Kumar Vishwas on Monday said the Hindu nationalist group's discipline was as "good' as that of militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Earlier this month, the 44-year-old AAP leader had praised RSS as a "disciplined force' and asked "if an organisation speaks in favour of a larger majority, does it mean it is communal'.

However, the remarks did not go down well with Muslims who demanded his expulsion from the party."I have said RSS' discipline is very good. The discipline of Lashkar-e-Taiba is also very good, people are ready to die. Learn discipline from (them)' Do not learn Hindu Rashtravad from them," Vishwas said.
