Mumbai, Jan. 1 -- Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat launched a scathing attack on Congress over its leader Nana Patole's remarks allegedly comparing Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram, saying that these are the people who filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court claiming that "Lord Ram was an imaginary personality".

Speaking to reporters here, he took a dig at the opposition party, saying that it "almost has no identity now".

"Anyone is free to compare anyone with anyone in this democratic India. The country's people see and understand these issues. The Congress party almost has no identity now. These are the people who filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court that Lord Ram was an imaginary personality," Shekhawat said.
