New Delhi: Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge has said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) should be brought under a legal registration framework and warned of action, including a ban.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a conference titled \u2018Why Registration of the RSS is Necessary\u2019 in New Delhi, Kharge described the RSS as the \u201cmost unpatriotic and anti-national organisation in the history of India.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the RSS projects itself as patriotic and questions the nationalism of others despite its own \u201ccontroversial history\u201d and \u201chas no moral authority to issue certificates of patriotism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kharge said he had written to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat after taking charge in Karnataka, asking the organisation to register, but received no response. \u201cIf necessary, we will bring legislation in Karnataka to bring the RSS under the ambit of the law.<\/p>\n
If they do not comply with the law, they will face action, including a ban,\u201d he said. Bhagwat dismissed the demand as \u201cpolitics\u201d and \u201cgimmicks,\u201d saying the RSS works openly and does not need to register.<\/p>\n
Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan, who also spoke at the event, said the debate over the RSS\u2019s legal status has become an important constitutional issue. The RSS, founded in 1925, has been banned three times \u2014 in 1948, 1975 and 1992. The last ban was lifted in 1993.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
