Senior BJP
leader LK Advani on Saturday lamented that the RSS "has been a most
misunderstood patriotic organisation" both in pre and post-Independent India,
despite having been a movement that "transformed the society and thousands of
youngsters."

"The RSS has really been a movement that transformed the society (in general)
and thousands of youngsters (in particular). Unfortunately, the RSS has been a
most misunderstood patriotic organisation both in pre and post-Independent
India," Advani said. Advani was sharing the platform with RSS chief KS Sudarshan
at a book release function organised at KC College auditorium in south Mumbai in
memory of late Sangh Parivar functionary Jhamatmal Wadhwani.
