Pranab uneases Congress concern |
A pleased RSS says Pranab endorsed its credentials. While Congress leaders have been uneasy since the news of Mukherjee`s nod to be the chief guest at RSS convocation function broke, they turned incredulous when the former President called RSS founder KB Hedgewar a "great son of Mother India". Nobody believed that Mukherjee wouldturn his back on his five decades of public life and agree with the "ideological rival" whom he had once accused in a Congress resolution of involvement in terror activities.Mukherjee said “any attempt at defining our nationhood in terms of dogmas and identities of religion, region, hatred and intolerance will only lead to dilution of our national identity”. Underlining that “multiplicity in culture, faith and language is what makes India special” and “we derive our strength from tolerance”, Mukherjee said.
