RSS marking houses of donors for Ram Temple, just as Nazis did, claims Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, Feb 15: Former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday accused the RSS of marking houses of those who gave donations for Ram Temple in Ayodhya and alleged it was similar to what the Nazis did in Germany.
The RSS dismissed the allegations, saying they do not qualify for any response.
In a series of tweets, the JD(S) leader claimed that the RSS was born in India around the time Nazi Party was founded in Germany.
"It appears that those collecting donations for the construction of Ram Mandir have been separately marking the houses of those who paid money and those who did not."
"This is similar to what Nazis did in Germany during the regime of Hitler when lakhs of people lost their lives," Kumaraswamy tweeted.
He wondered where these developments would take the country to.
Quoting historians, Kumaraswamy claimed RSS took birth at the same time when the Nazi Party was founded in Germany.
"There are concerns on what will happen if the RSS tries to implement similar policies adopted by Nazis.The fundamental rights of people are being snatched away in the country now," the former Chief Minister alleged.
He claimed there was an undeclared emergency in the country as people cannot freely express their views.
Expressing his apprehensions about media's independence in the coming days, the JD(S) leader said what will happen if the media upheld the government's views.
"It is clear from the emerging trends that anything may happen in the country," the former Chief Minister stated.
When contacted, RSS media-incharge E S Pradeep said, "Kumaraswamy's comments do not qualify for any response."

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 commonman..

Car driver alleges assault by auto drivers after minor road incident in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): In a suspected case of road rage, a car driver was allegedly chased and assaulted by two autorickshaw drivers following a minor road incident on Sarjapur Road here, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on March 25 around 8.20 pm when Shriraj Bhardwaj, a native of Ajmer in Rajasthan, and his colleague were driving on Sarjapur Road and allegedly encountered an autorickshaw coming from the wrong side of the road, they said.
The victim later lodged an online complaint regarding the incident on March 26.
A senior police officer said that in this connection, a Non-Cognisable Report (NCR) has already been registered at the Bellandur Police Station and further investigation into the matter is underway.
Registration of NCR means the complaint has been noted in the station diary, but a formal FIR and investigation will require further legal steps or magistrate approval, police said.
Following the incident, Bhardwaj took to 'X', recalling the episode and claiming that it began with a negligible touch between the vehicles that caused no damage.
"What followed was not an argument, it was a chase. The auto driver started aggressively chasing us, trying to block our car multiple times in moving traffic, hitting the vehicle, and attempting to open the doors. We chose not to engage and instead tried to reach a safe place," he alleged.
According to him, the situation escalated when another autorickshaw joined the chase. Together, they allegedly blocked their path near Sarjapur Bridge, and one of them picked up a concrete stone and smashed the windshield of his car while they were still inside.
"We somehow managed to reach RGA Tech Park, thinking a gated office space would mean safety. It didn't. Both drivers followed us inside. Before I could even step out of the car, I was physically assaulted, repeatedly hit in the face, leaving me injured," he alleged.
"Only after things calmed down did the main accused flee. When the police arrived, the second driver apologised in front of them," Bhardwaj further alleged.
He said that following the incident, he has made up his mind to leave Bengaluru and never return.
Bellandur police said they have registered a non-cognisable report and traced the autorickshaw driver.
"The complainant is yet to record his statement for further action. We have been trying to contact him but he informed us that he is out of state. Further inquiry into the matter is underway," the officer said.
The auto driver, however, has alleged that his vehicle was damaged and that he was asking them to stop the car to resolve the issue, but they did not stop, which led to the incident.
