Union Minister Giriraj Singh criticized Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge for accusing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of money laundering, stating that understanding the organization would take many lifetimes. Singh mentioned that even Rahul Gandhi, a Congress leader, would struggle to comprehend the RSS. He emphasized that Priyank Kharge’s comments were unfortunate and suggested that neither Kharge nor Rahul Gandhi truly understood the RSS.
Priyank Kharge, speaking in Bengaluru, accused the RSS of engaging in money laundering and questioned its funding sources. He alleged that the RSS, considered the ideological mentor of the BJP, had a network of over 2,500 organizations supporting it financially. Kharge raised concerns about the RSS’s lack of registration and questioned its accountability to the law and the Constitution.
In response to Kharge’s allegations, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) National Spokesperson Vinod Bansal criticized him for attempting to undermine Sanatan Dharma. Bansal accused Kharge of being part of a group that sought to eradicate Hindu traditions and the saffron ideology. He claimed that Kharge’s actions were detrimental to Hinduism and its cultural heritage.
