New Delhi, July 18 (IBNS): Reacting to the assault on social activist Swami Agnivesh by the members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Yuva Morcha, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a dig at the saffron party.

Rahul took to Twitter to say, "Pop Quiz I bow to the most powerful in the line. A person's strength & power are all that are important to me. I use hatred & fear to maintain the hierarchy of power. I seek out the weakest & crush them. I rank all living beings based on their usefulness to me. Who am I?"

Swami Agnivesh was assaulted in Pakur district of Jharkhand on Tuesday.

The attackers reportedly showed black flags to the social activist.

Slogans were also raised against him, reports said.

Swami Agnivesh went to Pakur to attend an event and was assaulted after he came out from a hotel in the area, reports said.

"I am against any sort of violence. I am known as a peace-loving person. I don't know why I was attacked," Swami Agnivesh told NDTV.
