State govt denies permission for RSS rallies across Tamil Nadu on Gandhi Jayanti
India Today
The Tamil Nadu government has denied permission to the RSS to conduct rallies across the state on Gandhi Jayanti. They said that police had already deployed for additional surveillance after the ban on PFI and subsequent protests by Muslim organisations.
The Tamil Nadu government has denied permission for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) rallies across Tamil Nadu on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, October 2. This comes even after the Madras HC had directed the state government to allow the RSS rallies with certain restrictions.
The Tamil Nadu government, in its statement, said that considering the present law and order decision where the Popular Front of India (PFI) was banned by the centre leading to Muslim organizations holding protests in several places, and since police have already been pressed into additional duties of extra surveillance, no permission could be granted for the RSS or any organisation to conduct marches or meetings.
Earlier, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Naam Thamizhar Katchi had called for a protest march against the RSS on October 2 as well.
Thirumurugan Gandhi, the organiser of the May 17 movement, a social and political movement based in Tamil Nadu, also said, “It is quite unfortunate that the HC has given permission to the RSS. The RSS was banned twice and they were involved in the assassination of our father of the nation. They are a divisive and fascist terrorist organisation.”
Meanwhile, the RSS has approached the Madras HC claiming that the state government’s decision is contempt of court. The case will be heard tomorrow.
