On Sunday, the Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly had said that 'chaddis' would be burnt as a sign of protest against the RSS.
Amid the 'Chaddi' row in Karnataka, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi hit out at the Congress saying their "chaddis" have been "stripped" off by the people.
The row started after some members National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress, burnt a pair of khaki shorts outside state education minister BC Nagesh's residence against the alleged "saffronisation" of school textbooks in the state.
"Because people have stripped their chaddis, they are burning RSS chaddi," Mr Joshi said in Vijaypur.
He added, "Uttar Pradesh people have taken off their chaddis in front of the entire country. They have been stripped off in Uttar Pradesh, Assam and now their chaddis have loosened in Rajasthan with the party infighting of Pilot and others. In Chhattisgarh, it is loosened. In Madhya Pradesh, they have stripped off your chaddi. You have lost your chaddi everywhere."
