Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge hit out Sunday at the financial opacity of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of the Bharatiya Janata Party, accusing it of financial irregularities and demanding it be brought under constitutional and legal scrutiny.
Kharge, the son of Congress boss Mallikarjun Kharge, claimed the RSS is guilty of money laundering, though he provided no further proof, routing funds via donations, or 'guru dakshina'.
There is a lack of clarity, he argued about the source and final destination of these funds.
"… they (i.e., the RSS) want us to be good citizens and pay our income tax… but they want to remain free (from paying taxes). How is this possible. We will have to question this?" he said.
