Bagalakote: Defending his remarks that the RSS follows Taliban culture, former chief Minister and leader of the opposition Siddaramaiah said “Yes. I made the statement and I stand by it.

Speaking to media persons at badamai he said the RSS. they does not believe in democratic values and leaders and members have no faith in human values.

They act like demons while enforcing their communal, divisive ideology. I strongly believe that those who don’t have faith in in democratic values or in a parliamentary democracy or don’t treat other human beings as equals are Talibanis. That is why I described the RSS as Talibanis,” the Congress leader and they had no role in freedom struggle he said .

Meanwhile home minister Araga Jnanendra reacting to siddaramiah’s remarks of talibani culture in Mysuru, he said siddaramiah is a senior politician and I have no comments to offer , being in the opposition , it is his job to talk.

He also said that siddaramiah does not jknow the difference between Taliban and RSS and it is quite surprising . as the opposition leader it is his duty to crticise the ruling party, but people are not fools to believe his works, RSS is known for good work over the year, he said.
