Congress vs Sangh: Kharge's 'Ban RSS' Call Ignites Fierce Political Firestorm
The political war of words between the Congress and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has escalated, with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge demanding a ban on the Sangh, a call dismissed by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale as baseless. Congress leader Priyank Kharge has hit back, accusing the RSS of operating without accountability calling it 'unregistered and unanswerable.' He questioned the source of the organisation's funding and the provision of high-level security for its chief. The controversy draws on historical context, with Congress leaders citing Sardar Patel's 1948 ban on the RSS following Mahatma Gandhi's assassination. Hosabale countered by stating that previous attempts to ban the Sangh only led to it emerging stronger, emphasizing that there must be valid reasons for such a drastic measure.
