New Delhi: Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja on Friday responded to the allegations labelled by his father against his wife, of creating rift between the father-son duo and Jadeja's sour relationship with his family.

Taking to micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter), Jadeja called the interview scripted and an attempt to tarnish image of his wife.

Jadeja's father had accused his wife Rivaba who is also a BJP MLA of creating rift in the family adding that Jadeja had not spoken to him or his sister in a long time. He had added that the problems began right after Jadeja's marriage owing to a fight between him and his wife over proprietorship of his restaurant.

"Right after their marriage, there was a dispute regarding the ownership of Ravindra's restaurant. She (Rivaba) told him to transfer the ownership of the restaurant to her name. They even had a major fight because of that," the father alleged during an interview with a Gujrati daily.

In response, Jadeja wrote "Let's ignore what's said in scripted interviews,"

"All the things said in the nonsense interview are meaningless and untrue. It is a one-sided story and I completely deny the allegations. The attempts made to tarnish the image of my wife are truly wrong and unbecoming. I also have a lot to say but won't do it publicly." Jadeja further wrote in his post.

Jadeja's father also alleged that he hasn't kept cordial relations even with his sister.

"I don't call Ravindra, and I don't need him. He is not my father, I am his father. He is the one who is supposed to call me. All of this makes me cry. His sister also weeps on Rakshabandhan," said the father.

Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.

Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.

“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”

Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”

The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
