Sangh has lost its credibility by indulging in financial, moral corruption: RSS veteran

Vijayapura, Nov 11: In a major embarrassment for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, one of its veteran activists has said that the hardline Hindutva outfit has lost its credibility by involving in all sorts of financial and moral corruption.

Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, N. Hanume Gowda, who has been with the RSS for the last three decades, said that several leaders of the sangh have gone astray of the fundamental values of the RSS.

“Today, not only the RSS leaders but also the BJP men who have come from the RSS are involved in corruption, nepotism and dynastic politics. The BJP’s allegations against the Congress now apply to the RSS and BJP leaders themselves,” he said.

He said that the BJP accuses the Congress of practising dynastic politics. But the BJP is doing same as in the case of B.S. Yeddyurappa’s son, Murgesh Nirani’s brother, Jagdish Shettar’s brother and also the sons of several BJP leaders who are in politics.

Stating that BJP leaders such as Mr. Yeddyurappa, Mr. Shettar, Shobha Karandlaje, Anant Kumar have embezzled money, Mr. Hanume Gowda asked where such huge amount of money has come from as these people were not this rich a few decades ago.

Accusing the RSS and BJP leaders of being involved in land grabbing, he said that he faced a threat to his life when he complained about it to the government.

To a question, he said that there were countless people in the RSS who are unhappy with the functioning of the sangh and they would soon be quitting it.

He said that instead of supporting the fake Hindutva organisation such as the RSS he has now decided to extend his support to the Shiv Sena.

“I am campaigning against the BJP and supporting the Shiv Sena in the elections,” he said.

Sangayya Hiremath, party candidate in Babaleshwar constituency, was present.

Shivamogga, Jun 16: The Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday announced a ban on movement of heavy goods vehicles in the Agumbe ghat section between June 15 and October 15 as a precautionary measure, as there was possibility of landslides due to heavy rain during the monsoon season.

All trucks over 12 tonnes will be prohibited from passing through the ghat, DC K B Shivakumar said in a statement here.

The authorities have suggested two alternative routes for the movement of heavy freight vehicles – the Shimoga-Thirthahalli-Sringeri-Kerekatte-Karkala-Udupi-Mangaluru route and the Shimoga-Thirthahalli-Mastikette-Hulikal-Hosangadi-Siddapura-Udupi-Mangaluru route.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 26: Sister Lucy Kalappura, one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal, on Saturday claimed that she is being targeted at the convent and not being provided food.

Sister Lucy was dismissed from Franciscan Clarist congregation for supporting sisters protesting against the Bishop.

"I am being targeted at the convent and not being provided food. When I asked the reason, I was told I have been dismissed from the convent and they are not responsible for feeding me," said Sister Lucy while speaking to the reporters.

She has alleged that all this began after the release of her autobiography "Karthavinte Namathil" which means 'In the name of God'. In her book she had alleged sexual misconduct among priests and nuns.

"They prepare food and after having it they lock it in the cupboard. When I asked the reason behind this, they told me that I have been dismissed," said Sister Lucy.

"Now I am managing it all by myself with egg and tapioca that grows in the convent compound. Earlier they used to keep the leftover lunch and I used to adjust with that, but after my book was released, they started to lock the food in the cupboard," she added.

Sister Lucy also claimed that she had filed three complaints with the police on August 19, August 20 and on December 13. They had taken her statement but no action was taken.

"If the police would have taken some action against the convent authorities, they would not have behaved this way. An FIR was registered based on the three complaints but no action was taken. This gives them more power to act against me. I have drafted a letter to the Chief Minister to raise my complaint," said Sister Lucy.

Bishop Mulakkal, a senior member of the Roman Catholic clergy in India, was arrested in 2018 following allegations by a nun that he repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her at Kuravilangad convent between 2014 and 2016, a charge that he denies.
