THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Repeating that the RSS killed Gandhiji, Youth Congress leader Rijil Makkutty responded to legal notice by saying he won't apologize for speaking out against RSS. The legal notice issued to him said action would be taken if Rijil does not call a press conference and apologize for saying in a channel discussion that it was the RSS that killed Gandhiji. The Youth Congress leader said in a Facebook post that he would not apologize and reiterated that it was the RSS that killed Gandhiji.

"Legal action will be taken if a press conference is called and an apology is made within seven days of receiving the notice. I will not apologize. I do not even give the value of a piece of trash for this notice. I am not a follower of the cowardly Savarkar who licked foreigner's shoes. I am a follower of Gandhiji. I repeat it once again: Gandhiji was assassinated by the RSS itself. So I'm not afraid of a legal notice gimmick. I will fight against the RSS until I lose the mobility of my tongue. That is my politics. That is my position", Rijil said.
