This special report covers two major developing stories: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's sharp rebuttal to the Congress party over the organisation's legal status, and a new controversy in Kerala. Responding to criticism from the Karnataka government, Bhagwat stated, 'Many things are there which are not registered. Even Hindu dharma is not registered'. This came after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's government considered curbing RSS activities in public spaces. The second story focuses on the Kerala government's investigation into students allegedly performing an RSS-affiliated song at the inauguration of the Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express. State Education Minister V. Sivankutty has ordered a probe, stating that using children for a "communal agenda" violates constitutional principles. The move was supported by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, while the BJP, through leaders like Rajeev Chandrasekhar, has defended the students, calling the song patriotic.
