B.K. Hariprasad reacts sharply to SC incident, blames 'Godse ideology', RSS for shoe attack on CJI
New Delhi: Hours after an advocate hurled a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai inside the Supreme Court, senior Congress leader and Karnataka MLC B.K. Hariprasad issued a strong statement, linking the act to what he described as the “Godse ideology” and the divisive politics propagated by the RSS.
In a detailed Kannada post on social media, Hariprasad wrote, “There is a similarity between Godse who killed Mahatma Gandhi, the Sanghis who demolished the Babri Masjid, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Sanatani lawyer who threw a shoe. The same ideology that spreads hatred in the country, attacks the Constitution, and gives birth to terrorism — it is that very ideology which has made people throw slippers at a judge. This is clear.”
Continuing his attack, the Congress leader asked, “Who are the masterminds behind this act of hurling a shoe at the Chief Justice of the country? Who are the ones filling the minds of innocent people with anti-human thoughts? The root cause of this is the hatred that the RSS has sown in society.”
Hariprasad alleged that the RSS has created a “toxic, hate-filled environment” in society that seeks to eliminate those who oppose its ideology. “The RSS has cultivated an atmosphere of hatred against those who defend the Constitution, democracy, equality, and secularism,” he said, adding that the nation must unite to confront such divisive forces.
Expressing solidarity with the Chief Justice, Hariprasad said, “I strongly condemn the attack on the Supreme Court judge who represents the Dalit community. The conscious citizens of this country must stand firmly behind CJI Gavai.”

The controversy follows the shocking courtroom incident where 71-year-old advocate Rakesh Kishore threw his shoe towards the Chief Justice while shouting slogans in defence of “Sanatan Dharma.”
