Former President Pranab Mukherjee’s visit to Nagpur to attend an RSS event on Thursday is giving the BJP and RSS an opportunity to spread rumours, his daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee said on Wednesday.
The Delhi Congress leader tweeted that the BJP had floated rumours of her joining the party. Tweeting at her father, she said: “Hope @CitiznMukherjee now realises from todays’ incident, how BJP dirty tricks dept operates. Even RSS wouldn’t believe that u r going 2 endorse its views in ur speech. But the speech will be forgotten, visuals will remain & those will be circulated with fake statements. 1/2 [sic].”
In another tweet, she added: “@CitiznMukherjee By going 2 Nagpur, u r giving BJP/RSS full handle 2 plant false stories, spread falls rumours as 2day & making it somewhat believable. And this is just d beginning! 2/2 [sic].”
