LUCKNOW -- With the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) replacing the loose fitting, flappy khakhi knickers with brown trousers, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday pledged to return the volunteer organisation in 'half pants' again.

"The RSS has updated itself because they are now in power. They would wear full pants instead of half pants, but we would again make them return in 'half pants'," Lalu told the media here.

"We have to remove BJP form all the country," he added.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar came to attend the marriage reception party of Shivpal Yadav's son Aditya.

Meanwhile, this announcement of change in the dress code of RSS was made in Nagpur yesterday by RSS general secretary Suresh (Bhaiyyaji) Joshi in response to a question.

The announcement was made in Nagaur on Sunday by RSS general secretary Suresh (Bhaiyyaji) Joshi in response to a question.

"We have changed our uniform. We move with the times and are not rigid," Mr. Joshi said. "We have decided to replace the khaki shorts with brown trousers."

He said the details of when the new uniform will become functional will be worked out. Care would be taken to ensure that the new trousers would be comfortable while doing physical activities, a component of the daily routine of the RSS morning shakhas (branches), he said, saying even cricketers and martial artistes wear full trousers.
