Bharat Jodo Yatra: Congress puts up image of khaki shorts on fire

In a tweet on Monday, the Congress’s social media handle shared a graphic of shorts resembling the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh khaki knickers on fire, with text that read, “145 days more to go.”

This comes in background of the party’s ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra.

“To free the country from shackles of hate and undo the damage done by BJP-RSS. Step by step, we will reach our goal,” read a tweet by the Congress.

Meanwhile, BJP and RSS have accused the Congress of instigating violence through the post.

Speaking to reporters, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said that the tweet “is nothing but instigating people for violence. It is being done following the directions of the Gandhi family.”

Responding to the statements of the Hindutva leaders, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said in a press conference, “Those who stoke fires of hatred, those who stoke the fire of bigotry and prejudice, must be prepared to take some things back in same coin.”

“If I were to enumerate the manner in which the BJP and its surrogates have fanned hatred, prejudice, lies and falsehood…The RSS and the BJP are not used to an aggressive response from the Congress. When the Congress gets aggressive, they back off,” Ramesh said.
