Priyank Kharge Asks CM to Ban RSS Activities on Govt. Facilities/sites, CM Recommends Immediate Action
Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge claims RSS activities in government premises promote division and urges a ban to uphold secular and constitutional values in the state.
- The Chief Minister's Office on Sunday released a letter in which Priyank Kharge, Karnataka Minister for Information Technology, Biotechnology and Rural Development, requested a statewide ban on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh activities contradicting India’s unity in a letter dated October 4.
- Kharge argued that RSS shakhas run in government and government-aided schools and public grounds, instilling slogans and 'negative ideas' in children and youth, with displays often lacking police permission.
- Listing venues, Kharge wrote that `The RSS's activities in these spaces are not just inappropriate but actively contradict the spirit of our Constitution` in government schools, parks, temples, and archaeological sites.
- Siddaramaiah responded by forwarding the letter to Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh for examination, while Basanagouda R. Patil Yatnal and Udupi legislators condemned the demand as politically motivated.
- Coming amid the RSS centenary, Priyank Kharge, son of Mallikarjun Kharge, voiced opposition aligning with the Congress party's narrative ahead of local elections after Bengaluru parades.
