Ghulam Nabi Azad, the opposition leader in Upper House, has denied his comparision of ISIS to RSS, submitting a recording of his speech. As Arun Jaitley countered him in Rajya Sabha on his ISIS-RSS remark, the senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "Move privilege motion against me if I have said something wrong."

"This is the CD of my speech. If anything wrong is found in it, you can move privilege motion," he said.

Azad claimed that his speech was quoted out of context, and urged the BJP MPs to listen to original speech. Meanwhile, finance minister Arun Jaitley said that the remarks of the senior Congress leader were incorrect and asked Azad to introspect.

On Azad's remark, Jaitley said ,"I think you gave respectability to ISIS in your speech, should have avoided that. Everyone knows ISIS is a terrorist organization."

Linking RSS to global terror organisation Islamic State (IS), Azad said on Saturday that, "The fight is not about Hindu and Muslim. It is a fight of perspectives... We are against the narrow fundamentalist mindset, whether it is of a Hindu, Sikh or Muslim. We oppose and reject the forces that are destroying the Muslim nations. We protest against ISIS-type (ISIS is another acronym for IS) of forces in the same measure as we protest against oppose outfits like RSS."

Slaming Azad's comment, RSS and BJP called it a reflection of Congress's "intellectual bankruptcy".
