The Congress on Wednesday cited two controversial financial deals to ask why the RSS remains an unregistered body, out of the accountability framework, despite being an important player in India’s power politics. “We want to know why the RSS has not been registered so far. Why does it not keep a register of its members? Why does it not pay income tax? Do they own this country?” Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera asked. Advertisement One of the controversies involves two Sangh parivar members buying for Rs 18.5 crore a plot in Ayodhya that had sold for Rs 2 crore minutes earlier. VHP leader Champat Rai and RSS functionary Anil Mishra members of the trust set up to monitor the construction of the Ram temple have denied any corruption in the land deal.
