Muslims frown over Kumar Vishwas’ pro-RSS comments

Community leaders demand his expulsion from AAP, failing which they will appeal their members to not back the party during the Lok Sabha polls.

 Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas’ pro-RSS statements have sent shockwaves among the Muslim electorate in Maharashtra. During the course of an interview given to a Hindi channel, Vishwas, who is the AAP candidate against Rahul Gandhi in Amethi, has praised the RSS as a disciplined force and that even Jawaharlal Nehru had invited it to meetings held in the wake of the 1965 Indo-Pak war. He is further seen stating that given a choice between the Congress and the BJP, he would support the latter. He has also added for good measure that in the 2009 polls, he had voted for the BJP. These statements have not gone down well with Muslim voters who were planning to back AAP in a big way.
