BJP-RSS have licensed to say who is patriot and who is a traitor: Rahul Gandhi

Guwahati, Feb 15 (IBNS): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that the BJP and the RSS can dub as a traitor anyone who speaks against their ideology.

Addressing a party workers meeting held at Titabor in upper Assam's Jorhat district and sounding poll bungle in the state, Rahul said that the BJP and the RSS have now identified who is a patriot and who is a traitor.

“Now BJP and RSS have the license to say who is a patriot and who is a traitor. The recent incidents in the country have proved it. But we will fight for our democratic right,” Rahul Gandhi said.

“Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student who committed suicide in Hyderabad. He did nothing wrong. But the ministers of the central government had ordered to the university administration to declare him as a traitor,” the Congress vice president said.

Earlier Gandhi attacked PM  Narendra Modi in another rally held at Gohpur under Sonitpur district and said that he only cares some special businessman.

“Modi said his heart goes to the poor people of the nation. But Modi only cares about some special businessman. He does not care about  poor people of the country,” Gandhi said.

The Congress vice president arrived at Jorhat on Monday morning during his two-day visit to the poll bound state.

Rahul will take part in a road show in Sivsagar on Tuesday and  discuss tea community and party leaders.
