New Delhi, Aug 24 : The BJP on Friday attacked Congress President Rahul Gandhi for comparing the RSS with the Muslim Brotherhood and accused him of possessing hatred against the current government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"The kind of words and thinking that Gandhi is using in foreign countries is very saddening," Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sambit Patra told media.

"Have you taken a contract against the 'idea called India', its culture and the Indian government," Patra questioned.

The BJP leader said that what Gandhi has done in UK is "unforgiveable"

"Muslim Brotherhood is a declared terrorist organisation in many countries. And you compared the Muslim Brotherhood with the BJP and the RSS. India wants to know if it is being ruled by a terrorist organisation. Have the 125 crore people of country voted for a terrorist party?" he asked.

The BJP leader was referring to Gandhi's remarks about BJP and RSS while addressing the students in the Strategic Studies Institute in London.

Earlier in the day, Gandhi in UK said, "We are fighting an organisation called the RSS, which is trying to change the nature of India. There is no other organisation in India that wants to capture India's institutions."

Attacking the Congres leader, Patra said, "Rahulji you have no maturity and understanding of India. You have no facets. The only quality you possess is hatred against the BJP, the RSS and Modi," he said.

"In 2013, a year before the elections, Congress leaders accused the BJP and RSS of running terror camps," he said.

"Why such hatred towards democracy?" the BJP leader questioned. He also said that the Congress in 2013 called the opposition terrorists and today "they are describing the government as terrorists".

He said the current BJP government follows the principle of 'Sabka saath, sabka vikas'.

"Rahulji must apologise to the people of the country," Patra said.

Vienna (AP): Police in eastern Austria say a 39-year-old suspect has been arrested after rat poison turned up in some HiPP baby food jars on supermarket shelves in central Europe.

HiPP, which recalled some of its baby food jars in Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic after the case came to light last month, said in a statement Saturday it was “greatly relieved” by the arrest, and would provide further updates as verified details come in.

The Burgenland State Criminal Police Office, under the direction of prosecutors, said a probe was launched after poison turned up in a baby food jar purchased at a supermarket in the city of Eisenstadt on April 18.

It said the suspect was being questioned, and that no further details would be immediately provided. The Burgenland public prosecutor's office has announced an investigation into suspected “intentional endangerment of the public.”

The Austrian Press Agency reported that an expert report on the toxicity of the poison was pending. A total of five tampered baby food jars were seized before they could be consumed, APA reported.

Authorities said previously they believe the tampering occurred in 190-gram (6.7-ounce) jars of baby food made with carrots and potatoes for 5-month-olds that were sold from SPAR supermarkets in Austria.

HiPP responded by recalling all of its baby food jars sold at SPAR supermarkets — which include SPAR, EUROSPAR, INTERSPAR and Maximarkt stores — in Austria as a precaution. Vendors in Slovakia and the Czech Republic also removed all of the brand's baby jars from sale.

The company said the recall was not due to any product or quality defect on its part, and said the jars left its facility in “perfect condition.”

Police said a customer at the time of the discovery had reported that a jar appeared to have been tampered with, but no one had consumed the baby food.
