In a bold accusation, Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge has accused the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of engaging in money laundering activities. Kharge raises concerns over the organization's financial practices and questions its source of income.

Addressing a public gathering, Kharge criticized the RSS for not hoisting the national flag for 52 years, yet lecturing others on patriotism. He claimed the RSS has a wide network, with over 2,500 organizations globally, and questioned how it receives funds without legal accountability.

Highlighting the RSS's unregistered status, Kharge emphasized the need for transparency and adherence to legal standards. He drew comparisons with registered entities that pay taxes, challenging the notion that the RSS is above the law and constitution.
