NEW DELHI: RSS today sacked its functionary Kundan Chandravat who had sparked a controversy by announcing a Rs 1 crore bounty for beheading Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
RSS’s Madhya Pradesh state head Prakash Shastri issued orders for his removal from all Sangh posts, a day after Chandravat made his statement in Ujjain.
“Chandravat’s controversial statement has created a wrong impression about the Sangh. He has been removed from all posts,” Shastri said in a letter announcing his removal.
“Kundan Chandravat made a controversial statement at Ujjain meeting, therefore he has been removed from all RSS responsibilities,” the saffron body’s Sah Prachar Pramukh (joint chief of publicity) J Nanda Kumar said.
Chandravat, the Sah Prachar Pramukh of RSS in Ujjain, had announced the reward to avenge the killing of its workers in Kerala, allegedly by CPI-M workers.
In a video, which went viral, Chandravat is purportedly seen saying that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is behind the killing of RSS workers there and he will pay Rs 1 crore to anyone who beheads him and brings his (Vijayan’s) head to him. (AGENCIES)
