Bengaluru: Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge has revealed that he has been receiving a barrage of threatening calls and abusive messages over the past two days after he publicly questioned and sought to restrain RSS activities in government schools, colleges, and other public institutions.

In a forceful statement on Twitter, Kharge wrote, “For the past two days, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Calls filled with threats, intimidation and the filthiest abuse directed at me and my family, simply because I dared to question and restrain RSS activities in government schools, colleges and public institutions. But I’m neither shaken nor surprised… If they think threats and personal jibes will silence me, they are mistaken. This has just begun. It is time to build a society founded on the principles of Buddha, Basavanna and Babasaheb, society rooted in equality, reason and compassion and purge this nation of the most dangerous viRuSS.”
