A political controversy has erupted over the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on its centenary, focusing on the potential award of the Bharat Ratna to its founder, Mr. Hedgewar. The Congress party opposes this, stating, "The entire credibility of the Bharat Ratna will completely be diluted if this happens." The party argues that the RSS has worked to undercut democracy, secularism, and social justice, citing its historical opposition to reservations and the Hindu Code Bill. In response, the BJP questions the Congress’s past choices for the award, noting the long-delayed recognition for figures like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The debate also touches on the inclusion of the RSS in school textbooks, with the BJP defending the organisation’s social contributions and role in nation-building, while the Congress highlights its lack of participation in the freedom struggle. #rss #bharatratna #hedgewar #politicaldebate #congress #bjp #indiatoday #faceoff #indianpolitics #history #freedomstruggle #secularism #socialjustice #centenary #indianhistory
