Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday berated RSS leader Ram Madhav over his recent “factually wrong” comments on Russian oil imports, calling them reflective of Sangh’s “true nature.”
Gandhi accused the Sangh of being a "Surrender Sangh" and called the organisation "farzi".
"Rashtriya Surrender Sangh. Farzi nationalism in Nagpur. Pure servility in USA. Ram Madhav has only revealed Sangh’s true nature," he wrote in a post on X.
The remark comes a day after Madhav participated in a panel in the US, where he said that New Delhi had done enough to ensure good relations with the US.
He added that India agreed to stop buying oil from Russia and Iran despite criticism from the opposition. However, he later clarified his remark and said India didn't agree to stop importing oil from Moscow.
The US had earlier issued a 30-day general license allowing countries around the world, including India, to purchase energy from Russia without attracting US sanctions.
India was a key beneficiary of the waiver, with reports suggesting that the country placed orders for roughly 30 million barrels of oil from Russia after the sanctions waiver was put into effect.
