Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, raising eyebrows over the prime minister’s recent comments on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), asked whether the PM is aware of Sardar Patel’s views on the organization.
In a post on social media, Ramesh mentioned a letter written by Sardar Patel to Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee on July 18, 1948, hinting at potential differences between the PM’s stance and Patel’s perspective.

The letter in question is part of a larger correspondence between Sardar Patel and Syama Prasad Mookerjee, which touches on various issues, including the integration of princely states and the role of certain organizations in India’s socio-political landscape.
Jairam Ramesh’s post suggests that PM Modi’s comments on RSS might not align with the views of Sardar Patel, a key figure in India’s independence movement and the country’s first home minister. This development came amid ongoing debates about the role of RSS in Indian society and politics.
