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.

Real Madrid fines Valverde and Tchouaméni half a million euros each for altercation
Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
