"In the last few days some forces are trying to put the Sangh in the dock by linking it with different incidents," RSS General Secretary Bhayyaiji Joshi said and described it as an "insult" to the Hindu society.
"We believe that the Sangh is unnecessarily being put in the dock as part of a conspiracy. We have always condemned such incidents because such incidents are not good for the society," he told a press conference here.
Replying to a query as to why RSS is accused of being intolerant, Joshi said the Sangh had always been constructive in its thoughts and respected everyone's sentiment.
"We have been in the social life for the last 90 years and nobody raised allegations of intolerance against the Sangh," he said.
"I understand that this is an insult to the Hindu society and there is a necessity to correct it with a proper understanding of the Sangh's constructive works in the society. The Sangh has always made forward strides together with all," he said.
