Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday reiterated his long-standing demand that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) should be banned in the country. He argued that even Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had once prohibited government employees from participating in RSS activities. “It is my personal opinion, it should be done,” Kharge said, referring to his belief that most law and order issues in India stem from the BJP-RSS nexus. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Kharge pointed out that the ban imposed during Patel’s tenure was lifted by the BJP government in 2024 and asserted that it must be reinstated.
