In a letter to the Chief Minister dated October 4, Kharge — son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge — alleged that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been conducting its 'shakhas’ in government and government-aided schools, as well as on public grounds, where "slogans are shouted and negative ideas are instilled in the minds of children and youth."

The CMO shared the letter with the media on Sunday.

Priyank said the RSS's belief system "was contrary to India’s ideals of unity and secular framework."
