The court has, however, denied permission for the march in six communally sensitive places, including Coimbatore, Pollachi, and Nagercoil.
The Madras High Court has permitted Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, to hold marches in 44 places across Tamil Nadu on November 6. The state government had earlier permitted the march in only three of the 50 places the right-wing outfit had sought permission for. The RSS, the court ruled, should conduct the marches peacefully or face consequences.
The court has, however, denied permission for the march in six communally sensitive places, including Coimbatore, Pollachi, and Nagercoil.
Ruling that it found nothing adverse in the reports by intelligence agencies, the court also allowed RSS, the ideological parent of the BJP, to seek permission for the march in even the six other locations after two months.
Coimbatore had recently witnessed a car explosion a day before Diwali in which one man, Jameesha Mubin, was killed. The case is being probed by the National Investigation Agency amid fears that Mr Mubin had plans to wreak major damage.
