New Delhi: A day before Pranab Mukherjee addresses an RSS event in Nagpur, the former President’s daughter and Congress leader Sharmishta Mukherjee Wednesday disapproved of his decision, saying he was giving the BJP and the Sangh a handle to plant false stories as his “speech will be forgotten” but “visuals will remain”.
Taking to Twitter, she hoped the former President would realise how the BJP’s “dirty tricks department” works and said that with his visit, he was giving the BJP and RSS “full handle to plant false stories”. Mukherjee Wednesday dismissed “rumours” about her joining the BJP, saying she would rather leave politics than quit the Congress.
“Hope Pranab Mukherjee now realises from today’s incident how BJP dirty tricks department operates. Even RSS wouldn’t believe that you are going to endorse its views in your speech,” she said. Mukherjee would address an RSS function Thursday.
