Kharge was speaking after BJP youth wing workers attempted to stop his convoy outside Goa International Airport in Dabolim earlier in the day.
Recalling the incident, Kharge said, “They were waving black flags at me and in my heart I wanted to get down from the car and ask them to first look at the black caps that the RSS members wear. These people think they are very smart.”
He also accused the BJP of branding the Congress as “anti-national” while questioning its own historical role.
“They say that we are against the country. That we are anti-India. They are the ones who are anti-India,” Kharge said.
