Press Trust Of India
Bhopal, October 06, 2010
In remarks that may trigger a controversy, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said he felt there was not much difference between the banned outfit SIMI and RSS as both were "fanatical" and held "fundamentalist" views. When a reporter told him he had made a controversial statement equating the two groups yesterday in Tikamgarh, the young MP said he failed to see any controversy in it.
When pointed out that the radical Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was a proscribed outfit, which was not the case with the Nagpur-headquartered right-wing group, Gandhi stated that this did not matter much for him.
"I know only that both SIMI and the RSS were fanatical and held fundamentalist views," he asserted.
There can be no place for people with fanatical views in the Youth Congress, said Gandhi, who is in-charge of youth wings of the Congress.
