Karnataka: Continuing his attack on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Karnataka IT minister and Congress leader Priyank M Kharge, on Monday, November 3, questioned why public taxpayers money is being spent for RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s security. He further questioned if the Hindutva organisation is “scared” of the law and hence did not register itself as an NGO.
