New Delhi: A day after former Karnataka chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy alleged that right-wing groups which were collecting money for a Ram temple in Ayodhya were separately ‘marking’ houses of those who donated and did not donate, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) said these claims were ‘factually incorrect’.On Monday, the Janata Dal (Secular) leader accused the RSS of following the Nazi Party’s actions in Germany.“It appears that those collecting donations for the construction of Ram Mandir have been separately marking the houses of those who paid money and those who did not. This is similar to what Nazis did in Germany during the regime of Hitler when lakhs of people lost their lives,” Kumaraswamy said in a series of tweets.On Tuesday, Kumaraswamy reasserted his position. “Who gave them permission to go door-to-door and collect funds for Ram mandir? I am not against the construction… I have received specific information that they are sticking labels to homes that have contributed funds. This is creating unnecessary panic among people,” he said, according to Deccan Herald.The VHP, which is also involved in collecting donations in Karnataka, described the comments as highly irresponsible” and “factually incorrect”.“The volunteers of various organisations including VHP are reaching out to all sections of the society. They don’t even demand money… The VHP has taken serious note of baseless allegations and condemns Kumaraswamy’s statement for unwarranted remarks,” said the group’s organising secretary Basavaraj, according to Deccan Herald.“He should stop making such irresponsible statements immediately,” said BJP general secretary Ashwathnarayan. He also denied that houses were being marked during the donation drive.The JD(S) leader had also claimed through his tweets that there is an “undeclared emergency” in the country, and people cannot freely express their views. Expressing his apprehensions about the media’s independence in the coming days, the JD(S) leader asked what will happen if the media only upholds the government’s views. “It is clear from the emerging trends that anything may happen in the country,” the former chief minister stated.
