New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi today demanded an apology from RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for "disrespecting" the Army and those who have laid down their lives for the country.

Gandhi slammed Bhagwat over his remarks that the RSS could "prepare" military personnel faster than the Army.

"The RSS Chief's speech is an insult to every Indian, because it disrespects those who have died for our nation. It is an insult to our flag because it insults every soldier who ever saluted it. Shame on you Mr Bhagwat, for disrespecting our martyrs and our Army. #ApologiseRSS," he tweeted.

Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani and patidar activist Hardik Patel also joined Gandhi in attacking Bhagwat.

"RSS is an army of underwear clad men who spark riots in country. I urge Bhagwat to go sell pakodas across country so that Modi can give government jobs to youth of our country," Mevani tweeted.

Hardik Patel too criticized the RSS Chief and said "no one needs to learn patriotism" from Bhagwat.
