A viral video of a group of men allegedly belonging to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) conducting training at the premises of a corporation school at RS Puram near Coimbatore on Sunday has sparked a row in Tamil Nadu.
The members of Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam (TPDK) staged a protest in front of the school and raised slogans against corporation officials for allegedly providing permission for the RSS event. Police personnel were deployed to prevent any untoward incident.
TPDK general secretary K Ramakrishnan said: “The government should immediately take action against the concerned officials. The government should take measures to prevent such camps of RSS from taking place anywhere at corporation schools or public places in the future.”
Coimbatore Corporation Commissioner M Prathap told indianexpress.com that the civic body does not grant permission for any social, political or religious gathering in schools and said it is investigating the incident. He added that the school headmaster was sent a showcause notice in connection to the incident.
