After cyclone Fani hit Odisha’s Puri district on Friday, social media has been flooded with pictures showing RSS activists engaged in the rescue operation.

The caption reads- ओडिशा में तूफ़ान आने के बाद कोई पहुचा हो मदद के लिए या नही लेकिन Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) के लोग जरूर पहुच गए।
मुझे खुद पर गर्व है कि मैं RSS की विचारधारा से जुड़ा हूं।

(Translation- After the storm in Odisha, no one reached for help, but the people of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have reached. I am proud of myself that I am associated with RSS ideology. )
