The Congress and the BJP today traded barbs over the killing of protestors in police firing in Tamil Nadu with the opposition party chief Rahul Gandhi blaming the RSS and the BJP for it and the saffron party dismissing his attack as an attempt to hide his "failures" following his party's poll losses.
The BJP also hit out at Gandhi saying he was trying to "milk a sad incident for political mileage".
In his tweets, Gandhi alleged that Tamils were being brutally killed for not bowing to the Sangh's ideology and blamed the "repressive Manuvadi thoughts" of the RSS and the BJP for beating up of Dalits in Gujarat. He also attached with his tweets a news channel's video clip purportedly showing Dalits being thrashed.
