BENGALURU: Leader of the Opposition in Karnataka Assembly R. Ashoka, responding to the Congress-led government’s move to make it mandatory for all private organisations to obtain permission from authorities -- a step he alleged was targeted at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) -- stated on Friday that the RSS is like a diamond and the more it is struck, the more it shines.
Taking to social media platform X, Ashoka said, “By pushing the Karnataka state’s financial situation to the brink of bankruptcy and failing completely in every sector, the Congress-led government is making baseless allegations and slandering the RSS in order to divert public attention from its internal conflicts, failures, and corruption.”
“No matter how much the Congress leaders try to tarnish it, they cannot do anything to the RSS. The organization is like a diamond — the more it is struck, the more it shines, ” Ashoka stressed.
