RSS Karnataka March : Administration denies RSS permission for march in Gurumathkal after Chittapur in Karnataka !

Yadgiri (Karnataka) – After Chittapur in Kalaburagi district, the administration has also refused permission for an RSS procession in the town of Gurumathkal in Yadgiri district. The district collector, Harshal Bhoyar, rejected the RSS application on the ground that permission to use government property and premises must be sought three days in advance, while the group submitted it only two days prior to the event.

Basappa Sanjanol, the RSS district publicity head, said, “The procession has been temporarily postponed because the district administration did not grant permission. A new date will be fixed and the procession organised once we receive the collector’s approval.”

Hindutva leader Ravindra Reddy Potul accused the administration of acting out of bias, saying, “The RSS has never worked against any faith; yet permission for the Gurumathkal procession has been denied. This appears to be an act driven by hatred. If necessary, we will pursue the matter in court and hold the procession by legal means.”

Editorial Perspectives

  • Karnataka’s Congress government appears hostile to the RSS !
  • If permission is being denied to Congress programmes in all BJP-ruled states, it would be no surprise !
