New Delhi: Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday denied that she was appointing people with personal, political and ideological affiliation to the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in her ministry.

"Do people have no right to job merely because they hold a right-wing opinion? Should a person be denied an appointment because he is holding a certain personal political views closure to RSS? Nobody with a personal, political and ideological affiliation to RSS is appointed knowingly," Irani said in an interwiew with Times Now channel.
