NAGPUR: (AMN) Congress on Friday said that it did not support the idea of banning the RSS as it felt the organisation could change its name like Lashkar-e-Toiba does.

Talking to media persons here Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said “It has 125 different affiliated organisations, so they continue to function despite ban. In Pakistan, when Lashkar-e-Toiba was banned, it resurfaced as Jamaat-ud-Dawa,”.

Singh termed the attacks by Congress workers on Sangh offices across the country over its former chief Sudarshan’s alleged derogatory remarks on Sonia Gandhi as an “expected reaction”.

On Sudarshan remarks he said:“The remark by a person like Sudarshan has come despite his upbringing in the RSS culture. It must be condemned by all”.

Praising Sonia Gandhi for her sacrifice and wisdom Singh said: “Sonia is an embodiment of sacrifice and has proved to be an ideal daughter-in-law, ideal wife and ideal mother,”. When asked that the RSS had apologised for the remarks, Singh said: “The BJP should also apologise because it is the political wing of the RSS.”
