Advani attacks Congress for 'slanderous campaign' against Sangh

As the war of words between BJP and Congress escalated over the issue, Advani said, Rajmohan's book has “effectively nailed the Congress's slanderous campaign against the RSS in respect of Mahatmaji's assassination.”

On Patel “not” being given his due post-independence, Rajmohan said in his book, “But while its acknowledgements are fulsome in the case of Nehru, and dutiful in the case of Gandhi, they are niggardly in the case of Patel.”

Rajmohan had also written in his book, “But the opinion of some that the Mahatma had been less than fair to Patel was a factor in my decision to attempt to write the latter's life.
