The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, has decided to not hold its proposed road march across Tamil Nadu tomorrow, a day after the Madras High Court permitted it to hold them only in compounded premises like a ground or a stadium.
In a statement, the right wing Hindu outfit said “the order is unacceptable” and that they would appeal against it.
Just yesterday, the Madras High Court gave conditional permission to the RSS to hold marches in 44 places across Tamil Nadu on Sunday, 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 march peacefully or face consequences.
“Route marches happen in the open in Kashmir, West Bengal, Kerala & other places. We are not holding our Tamil Nadu route marches on November 6th. We will appeal,” a statement from the RSS said.
The court had also denied permission for the march in six communally sensitive places, including Coimbatore, Pollachi, and Nagercoil, following intelligence inputs.
