Bhagwat's remark on rise in divorces smacks of arrogance, not culture: Cong

The Congress on Monday described RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remark that divorce cases were more in educated and affluent families as one that smacked of arrogance.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala condemned Bhagwat's remarks, saying it came from a "dogmatic mindset".

"Such a statement by the RSS chief is very unfortunate and needs to be condemned," Surjewala told reporters.

"Does the RSS chief want all people to become less educated?" the Congress spokesperson asked. "Dogmatic mindset is not good for society or for the ruling party. Such a statement smacks of arrogance and is not cultured."
