Don’t fall for BJP as 'shudras' and women are not allowed in 'RSS sanctum sanctorum': Siddaramaiah
Mysuru (Karnataka), Apr 3: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday alleged that entry of 'shudras' and women is barred inside the "RSS sanctum sanctorum" and people should not fall for the BJP-RSS assurances.
He also accused the two outfits of being against social justice and opposing reservation.
“People should not fall for BJP-RSS. Shudras-Dalits and Women are not allowed inside the RSS sanctum sanctorum,” the Chief Minister’s office quoted him as saying at the meeting of the SC/ST activists and leaders at the district Congress office.
The meeting was organised to canvass votes for the Congress candidate M Lakshmana for Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha constituency.
“BJP and RSS are against social justice. Therefore, they do not like reservation,” the statement quoted Siddaramaiah as saying.
He pointed out that reservation is not alms but the right of the oppressed communities.
According to him, reservation should exist as long as caste system exists in the society.
"Before independence and British era, did we, the Shudras have the right to study? Did women have any rights? A woman had to burn herself immediately after the death of her husband. Such inhuman practices inspired by Manusmriti were prohibited by our Constitution," the CM added.
The BJP and RSS want to bring back the Manusmirthi by making amendments to the Constitution, Siddaramaiah claimed.
“Shudras, Dalits and women are not allowed inside the sanctum sanctorum,” he said.
Referring to the statements of senior BJP leaders Nanje Gowda and Gulihatti Shekhar, Siddaramaiah said they were not allowed inside “the sanctum sanctorum of the RSS office in Nagpur.” “This is the truth. The Shudras are just being used...,” he added.

ಬಿಜೆಪಿ - ಆರ್.ಎಸ್.ಎಸ್ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ನ್ಯಾಯದ ವಿರೋಧಿಯಾಗಿವೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಅವರು ಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯನ್ನು ಇಷ್ಟಪಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಭಿಕ್ಷೆಯಲ್ಲ, ಅದು ಶೋಷಿತ ಜನ ಸಮುದಾಯಗಳ ಹಕ್ಕು. ಎಲ್ಲಿಯವರೆಗೆ ಜಾತಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಇರುತ್ತದೋ ಅಲ್ಲಿಯವರೆಗೂ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಇದ್ದೇ ಇರಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದು ನನ್ನ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ.

Riyan Parag likely to be fined 25 percent of match fees for vaping inside dressing room
New Delhi (PTI): Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag is set to be fined 25 per cent of his match fee for bringing the game into "disrepute" after being caught vaping on camera during the IPL game against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.
Parag's actions during the Royals' chase on Tuesday night drew condemnation on social media.
PTI has learned that on field umpires Tanmay Srivastava and Nitin Menon had not reported the matter to match referee Amit Sharma right after the game. They only did that after seeing visual proof and Sharma found Parag guilty for a code of conduct breach as per the IPL guidelines.
The Level 1 offences carries 25 per cent deduction from match fees and one demerit point.
"He is set to be fined a portion of his match fees and a demerit point for a Level 1 offence," said an IPL source.
The Indian government had banned e-cigarettes back in 2019, prohibiting their production, sale and distribution. As per the law, the offender faces imprisonment up to one year and/or a Rs one lakh fine for a first time offence.
"Article 2.21 of IPL Code of Conduct is intended to cover all types of conduct that bring the game into disrepute and which is not specifically and adequately covered by the specific offences set out elsewhere in this Code of Conduct, including Article 2.20," the IPL Code of Conduct states.
"By way of example, Article 2.21 may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) prohibit, without limitation, the following: (a) public acts of misconduct; (b) unruly public behaviour; and (c) inappropriate comments which are detrimental to the interests of the game.
"When assessing the seriousness of the offence, the context of the particular situation, and whether it was deliberate, reckless, negligent, avoidable and/or accidental, shall be considered.
"Further, the person lodging the Report shall determine where on the range of severity the conduct lays (with the range of severity starting at conduct of a minor nature (and hence a Level 1 Offence) up to conduct of an extremely serious nature (and hence a Level 4 Offence)."
Since it is a Level 1 offence there was no need for a hearing.
Parag, who has not had the best of times with the bat this IPL, was seen inhaling an e-cigarette, also known as vaping, in the dressing room during the live broadcast of their game against Punjab Kings. Royals won the game to end Kings' unbeaten run in the tournament.
This is not the first controversy to hit the Royals this season. Earlier this month, team manager Romi Bhinder was fined Rs one lakh for breaching PMOA protocol after being found using his phone in the dugout.
IPL and BCCI officials involved in the conduct of the IPL termed it as a careless act in the age of social media and prying TV cameras.
Royals next host Delhi Capitals at home on Friday night.
