New Delhi: In a recent thread of tweets, JD(S) leader and Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy alleged that RSS marking houses of Ram temple donors and non-donors separately is similar to was Nazis did during Hitler's regime in Germany.
In the tweets the JD(S) leader claimed that the RSS was formed in India around the time Nazi Party was founded in Germany. He added "There are concerns on what will happen if the RSS tries to implement similar policies adopted by Nazis."
According to a PTI report, RSS dismissed the allegations, saying the comments do not qualify for any response. RSS media-incharge E S Pradeep said, "Kumaraswamy's comments do not qualify for any response."
Kumaraswamy, quoted historians and claimed RSS took birth at the same time when the Nazi Party was founded in Germany. He added that the there is an undeclared emergency in the country where people cannot freely express their views. He said "A situation has been created where nobody can share their feelings. I do not know what will happen if media upholds the government’s views in the coming days. In such a situation it is difficult to guess what would be the fate of common man."
