    BJP faces criticism from opposition over RSS meet

    The BJP- RSS meet faced criticism from various opposition parties. AAP questioned the meet and called it a 'mockery' of the constitution. AAP leader Ashutosh said that it was indicative of RSS "interference" in the political process. Former J&K CM Omar Abdullah tweeted asking how could RSS be called a 'social organization', while it does a 3-day performance appraisal of Modi government.
