Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge alleges RSS men were behind Gauri Lankesh’s murder
Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged that men associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) were responsible for the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh and other killings, and said those responsible would soon be brought to justice.
“People who are responsible for the murder of Gauri Lankesh and others will soon be inside. RSS men killed them,” Kharge said.
His remarks signal a fresh political attack on the RSS in connection with the high-profile assassination of Gauri Lankesh, who was shot dead outside her residence in Bengaluru in September 2017.
The Home Minister's statement comes amid renewed attention to the investigation and the question of accountability in the killings. His assertion that those responsible would soon be behind bars suggests that the government expects further action in the cases.
The allegation against RSS members was made by Kharge in his public remarks. Any responsibility for the crimes must, however, be established through the investigation and judicial proceedings.
