New Delhi, March 18 (India Today): Two youth have been arrested in Madhya Pradesh for sharing online a morphed image of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat.

22-year-old Shakir Banthia and 21-year-old Vasim Shaikh have been arrested for sharing an image combining Mohan Bhagwat's torso with that of a woman's body clad in brown pants. The duo was arrested after the police received complaints stating that the picture had hurt Hindu sentiments.

The image allegedly sought to make fun of the RSS decision to change its dress code.

The RSS had last week said that its members will now do away with the traditional khaki shorts and will opt instead for a pair of trousers.

The decision to change the dress code to wood brown/coffee colour trousers was taken at a three-day annual meeting of Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the highest decision-making body of the RSS.

Many view the move an attempt to attract more young people towards the RSS.
