On Friday, the Madras High Court allowed the RSS to hold marches at 44 places, but only at closed places like stadiums. The RSS, calling the order "unacceptable", had said it would file an appeal
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, held marches in Tamil Nadu's Kallakurichi, Cuddalore and Perambalur districts today, a day after the BJP's ideological mentor said it was cancelling the event, following a hearing in the Madras High Court.
The marches and a public meeting commemorating India's 75 years of independence and the 125th birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar concluded peacefully amid tight security.
These are the three places where the Tamil Nadu Police had allowed the marches.
"Some 330 RSS members participated. We had SPs (police officers) from Kallakurichi, Villupuram and Vellore, besides the Villupuram range DIG (police officer) undertaking security arrangements," a police officer told NDTV in Kallakurichi.
