Attempt to push RSS agenda: Rahul slams govt at protest against draft UGC regulations

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged the UGC’s draft regulations on the appointment of teachers and academic staff in universities and colleges was an attempt to push the agenda of the RSS that aimed to achieve its idea of imposing “one history, one tradition, one language” on the country.

Speaking at a protest against the draft University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations organised by the DMK here, the opposition leader in the Lok Sabha said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) aim was the eradication of all other histories, cultures and traditions of the country.

“That is its starting point and that is what it wants to achieve. It attacks the Constitution because it wants to achieve one idea which is its idea — one history, one tradition, one language — on this country,” the former Congress chief said. PTI
