The Minister of State, Home Affairs, G Kishan Reddy has slammed Pakistan PM for his criticism of the RSS march in Telangana and furthermore targeted Pakistan for sheltering terrorists on its soil. Reddy took a dig at Pakistan for the persecution of minorities in their country and called them out for blaming a "disciplined cultural organisation" like the RSS. He further added that Swayamsevaks have been conducting such marches since 1925.
G Kishan Reddy's response to Pak
A rogue nation which patented genocide by systematic persecution of Hindus in their country and which breeds terror across the world including giving shelter to cannibals like Osama Bin Laden blames a disciplined cultural organisation meant for protecting values.

Imran Khan on RSS march
Back in December, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan took to Twitter and shared a video of a purported RSS march. The Pakistani Prime Minister asked the international community to act against the organisation. He claimed that organisations like the RSS want complete annihilation of Muslims in India. Khan also compared the organisation with Hitler's Nazi regime.
The int community should wake up before RSS on the move leads to genocide of Muslims that will dwarf other genocides. Whenever militias like Hitler's Brown Shirts or RSS are formed, based upon hatred of a certain community, it always ends in genocide. https://t.co/bnxJknIbO6
