Will respond once RSS invite comes: Congress
New Delhi, Aug 27 : As the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) plans to invite Congress President Rahul Gandhi for a three-day lecture series, the party said it will respond only after receiving an invitation from the organisation.
"I do not answer hypothetical speculative questions. I have said to you categorically upon checking that we have received no invitation," said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
"You can be rest assured, as and when the Congress receives an invitation, there will be an appropriate proper response and you all will be shared with that response, he said.
The RSS on Monday was critical of Congress President Rahul Gandhi for drawing comparisons of it with the Islamic State (IS) and the Muslim Brotherhood and plans to invite him for a three-day lecture series next month to enlighten people about the organisation.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
