New Delhi: Attacking the BJP for allowing the live telecast of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief, Mohan Bhagwat's Dussehra address, the Congress said that Narendra Modi led National Democratic Alliance is the real voice of the RSS.
"This government is the real HMV- His Masters Voice! The HMV is not the prime minister, but the biggest remote control in Indian political history- RSS, which sits in Nagpur!," said Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi.
Insisting that the move was against law and ethics, he said that the PM Modi led dispensation set a precedent last year by starting the telecast and was now following the "wrong precedent".
"State media is being misused for propaganda" of an organization, which could not be called a cultural organisation, he said stressing that the development was "very unfortunate".
The RSS describes itself as a cultural outfit devoted to the betterment of the nation and upholding Hindu values. It is also the ideological parent of the ruling BJP.
The annual Vijaya Dashami or Dussehra speech in Nagpur by its chief, articulates RSS' vision and agenda for its volunteers.
