BENGALURU: Karnataka Minister for RDPR, IT and BT, Priyank Kharge, stated on Tuesday that he and his family have been subjected to threats and abuse for the past two days for questioning the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and demanding a ban on its activities in public spaces.
Taking to social media X, Minister Priyank, son of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, stated, "For the past two days, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Calls filled with threats, intimidation and the filthiest abuse directed at me and my family, simply because I dared to question and restrain RSS activities in government schools, colleges and public institutions."
"But I’m neither shaken nor surprised. When the RSS didn’t spare Mahatma Gandhi or Babasaheb Ambedkar, why would they spare me?" he questioned.
