Cong seeks probe into ‘sexual exploitation’ in RSS shakhas

The Congress on Monday sought a thorough investigation into the activities of the RSS in view of the revelations made by Anandu Aji, a Kerala-based RSS volunteer who died by suicide after alleging prolonged sexual exploitation, including rape, at RSS shakhas and training camps during his childhood.Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Chairman of the party’s Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said the RSS needed to be exposed. “What is happening behind the veil of its so-called value system and nationalism must be revealed to the whole nation,” he added.

Referring to the Anandu Aji’s death, the Congress leader said it was a fool-proof and conclusive confirmation of what was already known in public domain but was not openly discussed.

Khera expressed dismay at the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS leadership over such serious revelations.
