RSS chief Bhagwats meeting with Adnan Sami sparks outrage, Congress takes a dig
In a post on X, the Opposition party said that Adnan Sami's father had served as a pilot in the Pakistan Air Force and was involved in the 1965 India-Pakistan war, including the attack on the Pathankot air base.
PTC News Desk: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's meeting with singer and Padma Shri awardee Adnan Sami has triggered a political slugfest with Congress criticising the meeting.
Maharashtra Congress on Monday criticised the meeting and alleged that it mounted to being anti-national. In a post on X, the Opposition party said that Adnan Sami's father had served as a pilot in the Pakistan Air Force and was involved in the 1965 India-Pakistan war, including the attack on the Pathankot air base.
"Adnan Sami's father, Arshad Sami Khan, was a pilot in the Pakistan Air Force who destroyed the Pathankot air base during the 1965 war. Today, Mohan Bhagwat is enjoying a meal with him. RSS = anti-national," the Congress said in a post on X.
Notably the singer was among several celebrities who attended a two-day event in Mumbai to mark the RSS centenary.
"Had an incredible afternoon with the legendary Sarsanghchalak (Chief) of RSS, Sri Mohan Bhagwat ji. It was delightful to hear him speak and there were so many myths & misconceptions that he so eloquently explained & cleared. An incredible gentleman & beautiful soul," the Padma Shri recipient wrote in his post.
