Union minister and BJP leader Ram Shankar Katheria today accused the Congress of misleading people and defaming RSS through cheap politics. His allegations came a day after UP Congress chief Nirmal Khatri was booked for allegedly sharing a photograph of an RSS worker on Facebook that claimed that the latter was being beaten up for robbing Chennai flood victims. <br/><br/>Speaking to media in New Delhi, Mr Katheria said, Congress and its senior leadership have stooped to doing cheap politics and tantrums in absence of any serious issue. He said, sometimes Congress disrupt Parliament and blame the government for any issue related to the Court in order to hide their sin unsuccessfully. He said, on other occasions, they concoct incidents, make false documents and misuse social media to defame nationalist organisations. <br/><br/>Katheria, who is the BJP MP from Agra said that the photograph was taken by a photojournalist during a police lathicharge on RSS' bicycle rally in Agra in 2012. He said, Khatri lodged a big conspiracy to defame RSS on his facebook profile and while doing so he forgot that he was committing a crime. He said, recently RSS workers served the Chennai flood victims putting their life at stake but Congress leaders could not digest the praise of RSS for its work.<br/><br/>Katheria also alleged that a person Mehul Maru connected with Youth Congress had also shared the same photograph alleging that the RSS worker was beaten up by police for eve teasing. He said, such incidents prove that Congress and its senior leaders have become desperate after losing power.<br/><br/>Replying to questions Katheria said that if the police failed to act properly, they will raise the issue in a big way.
