Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 13 (DHNS): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday said the RSS was trying to turn India into "Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy".

He was responding to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's statement that the Sangh was capable of preparing an "army" and be battle-ready in three days.

Pointing out that the RSS was influenced by Mussolini in its organisational structure and by the Nazis in its ferocity, Vijayan sought to know from Prime Minister Narendra Modi his stand on Bhagwat's statement which belittled the Indian Army.

"The parallel army he is talking about is what we have always warned against: Hindu Terror. Running down the army amounts to treason. The RSS chief must apologise to the people of India for this treacherous remark," he said.

Addressing RSS cadres in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, on Sunday, Bhagwat said while preparing an army for battle would take six to seven months, the swayamsevaks could be ready to defend the country in three days.

Bhagwat's statement is in a poor taste and proves that the RSS does not respect the Constitution or India's institutions, the chief minister said.

"His statement exposes the RSS' hidden agenda to float parallel militias to wreak havoc, crush national unity," he said.

Vijayan said even in its the clarification on the issue, the RSS tried to establish that the Sangh was more disciplined than the Indian Army.
