Cong-RSS War Explodes: K'taka Blocks March, Sangh Considers Legal Challenge
This special report details the escalating confrontation between the Congress government in Karnataka, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). 'The target is not RSS. Any organization,' Siddaramaiah stated, clarifying that the government's rules apply to all and were a reiteration of a 2013 order under the BJP's Jagadish Shettar. The immediate flashpoint is the denial of permission for an RSS march in Kalaburagi's Chittapur, a decision the government attributes to maintaining law and order, as a Bheem Army march was also denied approval. This follows the recent suspension of a Panchayat Development Officer for attending an RSS event and a letter from Minister Priyank Kharge to the CM urging a ban on RSS activities in government institutions. The BJP has condemned these moves, alleging political vendetta by the Congress government.
