Former Army general and sitting member of the Rajya Sabha Shankar Roy Chowdhury, on Wednesday came down on the RSS for creating a row over the Sixth World Congress of Jesuit Alumni which President Kalam will inaugurate in Kolkata on January 21.

‘‘The reservations expressed by the RSS chief about the conference being inaugurated by the President is unfortunate,’’ said Chowdhury, who is also the president of the organising committee.

‘‘Such comments show a 15th century mindset. In the 21st century it is irrelevant,’’ he added. Earlier, RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan had described as ‘‘unfortunate’’ Kalam’s consent to inaugurate the Jesuit Alumni meet.
