Reacting to Gandhi's comment that Patel banned the RSS in the wake of the Mahatma's assassination, Madhav said the ban was lifted after eight months.
"Patel did ban the RSS but within eight months he revoked the ban saying RSS had nothing to do with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi," he added.
Gandhi, addressing a rally at Gujarat's Bardoli - where Patel achieved prominence by leading a major civil disobedience campaign in 1928 against the then British rule - made scathing but indirect attack on the RSS, saying a "poisonous mentality killed Mahatma Gandhi".
