He reiterated that the organisation is "outside the legal framework" and that he will bring it within it. Kharge said he had not expected a reply to his letter to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and questioned the RSS’s authority to issue certificates of patriotism or treason. The minister declined to detail what action would follow if there was no response to the letter. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - deccanherald.com Tags: Karnataka, legal framework, political controversy, Priyank Kharge, registration, RSS Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-to-study-rss-history-before-legal-action-says-minister/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
