Eshwarappa at it again! All Muslims, Christians will associate with RSS some day

Bengaluru: Karnataka Minister and senior BJP leader K S Eshwarappa on Thursday claimed that all Muslims and Christians in the country will associate themselves with the RSS, some day in the future.

The Rural Development Minister’s statement came during a discussion in theAssembly,. It all started when Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah made a reference to the saffron organisation, while speaking about his personal equations with some BJP leaders and Ministers.

“Personal relations are important, then comes party differences- BJP, RSS, Congress and others,” the Congress leader said To this the Speaker in a lighter note asked Siddaramaiah, “why are you feeling troubled about our RSS?” Congress MLA Zameer Ahmed Khan asked, “You (Speaker) are saying-’Our RSS’- sitting on that chair?” To this Kageri responded saying, “what else, if not our RSS? Yes....it is Our RSS. RSS is ours....Zameer, I’m telling you one thing, if not today some day in the future, in our country, even you will have to say- Our RSS- definitely.”

Congress legislators including Khan said, that day would never come. Intervening, Revenue Minister R Ashoka said, RSS has become “Sarva Vyapi and Sarva Sparshi” (ubiquitous and omnipresent). “Our country’s President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Chief Minister are all from RSS, every one has to accept it now....it is our good fortune,” he pointed out. Minister Eshwarappa then said, “All Muslims and Christians in the country, if not today, some day in the future, will become (associate themselves with) RSS. There is no doubt about it.”
