Rahul Gandhi never fails to bring up the RSS link to Mahatma Gandhi's killing. However this time he has got a sharp response from Mahatma Gandhi's great grandson, Shrikrishna Kulkarni.

In an open letter posted on his Facebook page, Kulkarni says, to say RSS killed Gandhi is like saying Tamils killed your father. Kulkarni's mother is Mahatma Gandhi's third son Ramdas Gandhi's daughter. She was married to G R Kulkarni.

He says that the Congress should accept the verdict of the various commissions.

"So please stop this charade, stop this opportunistic usage of the Gandhi name. You are not from the Gandhi family. You have fooled too many people for too long in India. Stop it now." Somebody from the Gandhi family has to call their bluff, he also said.

To keep harping that the RSS killed Gandhi is akin to saying the Tamils killed your father, which would be such a petty falsehood, isn't it? A couple of guys don't make for a community..." he also wrote.
