Congress today said its Vice President Rahul Gandhi will not tender an apology over his remarks against the RSS. It said Mr. Gandhi will instead substantiate the allegations with facts and evidence before the court. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court observed that Mr. Gandhi, who blamed RSS for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, should not have resorted to collective denunciation of an organisation and will have to face trial in the defamation case if he does not express regret.<br/><br/>Congress spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala said such a suggestion was also made in the past which was not accepted by Mr. Gandhi. He said Mr Gandhi is a mature politician with intimate knowledge of historical facts and the party and he will defend these remarks at appropriate forum. Another party spokesman Gaurav Gogoi said Rahul Gandhi will fight the case as he wants to present his facts along with proof.
