The Congress today accused the government of attacking institutions and attempting to instal people having RSS ideology in the judiciary.

Congress leader Kapil Sibal alleged that while the BJP has already appointed RSS 'pracharaks' in key positions in educational institutions of the country, it is now attempting to instal RSS pracharaks or people of their thinking in the judiciary.

"They have filled educational institutions with RSS pracharaks. Now they are making attempts to fill the judiciary with RSS pracharaks or people with their thinking," he told reporters.

The former law minister said, "This is not acceptable to us and will oppose it. If need be, we will also raise this issue with the judiciary."
