Priyank Kharge Urges RSS to Disclose Legal Status, Funding Sources, and Tax Details

Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge wrote to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat demanding clarity on the organization's legal status, funding, taxes, and structure. Kharge argued that large public groups must follow transparency rules. Bhagwat rejected the request, stating the RSS needs no formal registration since it receives no government funds. He called the move politically motivated. The dispute has sparked debate over accountability for major voluntary organizations operating without standard registration in India.
