Senior Congress leaders in a core group meeting have advised party president Rahul Gandhi to not accept the invitation to the RSS program, reports media.
This comes after reports that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is likely to invite Rahul Gandhi, a critic of the organisation, to its event next month. The event, a lecture series, will be held between September 17 and 19 at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi.
Apart from the Congress president, several other opposition leaders, like Sitaram Yechury of the Left, are also likely to be invited.The Sangh wants to invite people representing different ideologies, sources say.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will address the lecture series on the “Future of Bharat: An RSS perspective” and present the Sangh’s views on “contemporary views of national importance”.
