 Quit India Movement was a failure: RSS chief
Quoting second Sarsanghchalak Guru Golwalkar, RSS chief K C Sudarshan today claimed the Quit India Movement launched by Congress in 1942 was a "failure" and the country became free only when the British were faced with a prospective rebellion by Air Force and Navy in 1946.
Addressing a 'Virat Hindu Sangam' here this evening, Mr Sudarshan, quoting Guru Golwalkar, said the "much touted" Quit India Movement of Congress in 1942 was a failure, as it did not have the support of the entire political mainstream waging a war against the British rule.
Clement Attlee, the British Prime Minister at the time India became independent, during his 1956 visit to India, had conceded that it was not due to non-violent struggle of Congress, but the left over of Netaji's armed struggle which clinched freedom for India, Mr Sudarshan claimed.
