"The message that he has given is of an India that is inclusive and tolerant, peaceful, multi-religious, multi-lingual and multi-cultural. Is the RSS willing to absorb is the question I had raised and that is still in my mind", asked Anand Sharma.

RSS invited Pranab Mukherjee on the grand event of it's at the headquarters in Nagpur and former President's decision to accept the invite to attend RSS event on June 7 has raised innumerable questions from the Congress, that had been his party for nearly five decades before he became President in 2012.

"People are possibly overlooking that. So when you say certain images are disturbing, there's nothing wrong", said the Congress leader.
