Karnataka Minister says Congress will ban RSS if party comes to power at Centre
Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge on Tuesday said that if the Congress returns to power at the Centre, it would impose a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). 'If Congress comes to power in the Centre again, we will ban RSS,' Kharge said. He argued that the RSS spreads hatred in society and does not operate within the bounds of the law. advertisementKharge referred to historical precedents to defend his stance, stating, 'Didn't Sardar Patel ban the RSS? They fell at his feet and assured they would follow the law of the land. Didn't Indira Gandhi ban the RSS? They did the same again. Even now, they are only pretending to follow the law. What is the source of their Rs 250 crore funding? These things must be investigated.' 'The job of the legislature is to legislate. We will bring in necessary legislation, but I cannot act beyond the ambit of the Constitution,' he June 27, in a post on X, Kharge listed what he described as a historical record of the RSS's actions, Kharge said the organisation did not participate in the Salt Satyagraha, the Quit India Movement, or any other mass movements for India's independence. He alleged that the RSS had opposed the tricolour flag on the eve of independence, distributed sweets after Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, and campaigned for the Manusmriti to be implemented instead of the concluded by stating that the RSS remains opposed to both the Constitution and the national flag, and claimed that the BJP acts as its puppet. 'The RSS is acutely aware that the Constitution stands between them and their ideological aspirations. However, it is crucial to remember that the Constitution's preservation will be fiercely defended by Indians who are united in their commitment to democracy, diversity and equality,' he said.'We should not have lifted the ban on RSS,' Kharge added.- Ends IN THIS STORY#Karnataka
