New Delhi: Former Congress President, Rahul Gandhi in a fresh attack on RSS and its affiliated organisations said he will henceforth not call them ‘Sangh Parivar’ as they do not possess what it takes to be a family (Parivar).

Taking to his Twitter account, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said he believes it is not right to call RSS and its affiliated organisations ‘Sangh Parivar’.

“There are women in the family, respect for the elderly, a sense of compassion and affection - which is not there in the RSS” the senior Congress leader added in the tweet.

Ahmedabad (PTI): A tremor of 3.7 magnitude jolted Gujarat's Kutch district on Monday morning, the Institute of Seismological Research (ISR) said.

There was no report of any casualty or damage to property, the district administration said.

The tremor was recorded at 10.44 am with its epicentre 76 kilometres north-north east of Lakhpat, the Gandhinagar-based ISR said.

This is the second seismic activity of more than 3 magnitude this month in the district.

On December 7, a tremor of 3.2 magnitude was recorded in the district, according to the ISR.

Last month, Kutch recorded an earthquake of 4 magnitude on November 18.

Earlier, on November 15, Patan in north Gujarat was jolted by an earthquake of 4.2 magnitude, as per the ISR data.

Gujarat is a high earthquake-risk area.

It suffered nine major earthquakes in the past 200 years, according to data of the Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA).

The earthquake in Kutch on January 26, 2001 was the third largest and second most destructive in India over the last two centuries, according to the GSDMA.

A large number of towns and villages in the district had suffered almost complete destruction in the earthquake, which killed nearly 13,800 persons and left 1.67 lakh others injured.
