Taking a dig at Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, while speaking at an event of RSS, its chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that Imran Khan also criticises RSS. He added that people do not focus on the work that Sangh has been doing in the past 90 years. Earlier, in a quick comeback against those criticizing RSS, Bhagwat in his annual speech on the occasion of Vijayadashami had said that critics as well as Imran Khan attack RSS when their negative campaign isn't successful. 

"The Sangh has been working towards nation-building for 90 years. Sangh has only one work. But those who criticise Sangh are going on with the same rant, earlier they used to say Sangh is nothing. Now they say that Sangh is here also, there also, Imran Khan is also apeaking about Sangh. What should we do? Sangh has been here and worked for nation-building. We have Swayamsevaks in lakhs but our aim is one." he said.
