In an interview with a news channel, he said, “No one can have special privileges. I am only telling the RSS to abide by the law of this country.”

The RSS is not and cannot be above the law.

No one can claim a special exemption from accountability. I’m only asking the RSS to follow the law of the land.

I discuss this and much more in my detailed conversation with Frontline Magazine.https://t.co/hW1cEIWRLn…

His remarks have sparked criticism on social media. Users have questioned, “Does this rule not apply to the Waqf Board? Is the Waqf Board above the law? Why don’t you take a similar stand regarding the Waqf Board?”

It is noteworthy that Kharge had recently demanded a ban on public programmes of the RSS in the state.

Editorial Perspective

When no one is supposed to be above the law in this country, why has the Gandhi family always been above the law under Congress rule ?
