Congress and BJP MPs defend RSS, question mayor’s motives

Congress MP Ghulam Ali Khattana suggested that Mamdani’s comments might be driven by local political calculations, emphasizing that the RSS is among the world’s most disciplined organisations, working for the health and welfare of millions. BJP leader Nalin Kohli echoed the sentiment, pointing out the inconsistency in Mamdani’s stance on pluralism while opposing Bhagwat’s rally. Both leaders called for a balanced view of the RSS’s humanitarian work.
