RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Rebuffs Karnataka Minister's Registration Demand, Cites Openness and Historical Context

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat rejected demands from Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge for the organization to register and disclose financial details. Bhagwat called the request political, noting the RSS operates openly and is already known to authorities. He argued registration is unnecessary since the RSS receives no government funding, and its century-old status and legal recognition exempt it from such requirements.
