PATNA: Bihar opposition leader and senior RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav today challenged RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to send the RSS people to Doklam to take on the Chinese military.

The open challenge came a day after Bhagwat was quoted as saying in the local media that the RSS could assemble its cadres to fight much faster than the Indian army.

“If Mohan Bhagwat has guts, he should send the RSS men to the border at Doklam. Why are you holed up?” he tweeted on Monday. He asked the RSS chief to refrain from insulting the Indian Army and the jawans.

मोहन भागवत में हिम्मत है तो डोक़लाम में भेज दे संघियों को। क्यों बिल में छुपे है? चीनी हमारे देश में घुसे हुए है। पाकिस्तानी प्रतिदिन हमला करते है। सेना और सैनिकों का अपमान बंद कर अपनी निक्कर गैंग को वहाँ भेजे। थूक के पकौड़े ना उतारे।#ApologiseRSS

He also dared the RSS people to reveal the name of any single RSS man who lost any of his family members fighting for national security on the border.

In a sudden development, the RSS today clarified the RSS chief was misquoted and said what he meant was something different from what has been carried in the media.

“Bhagwatji had said that if situation arises and the Constitution permits, Indian army would take six months to prepare the society whereas Sangh swayamasevaks can be trained in 3 days, as Swayamsevaks practise discipline regularly,” RSS’s Akhil Bhartiya Prachar Pramukh Dr Manmohan Vaidya said in a written statement today.
