RSS had reached the High Court

However, along with the approval of March, the court had also imposed some conditions. RSS workers were prohibited from taking out marches without sticks or weapons and speaking on any such issue, which would affect the integrity of the country. However, unhappy with the court's decision, the RSS postponed the route march program to be held on November 6.

 

What was the reason given by the Tamil Nadu government?

The DMK government had given the reason for denying permission to the RSS rally, saying that at a time when the government was making efforts to maintain law and order in the state, the RSS and other organizations were not allowed to take out rallies and hold public meetings. Can go Also, the government had said that after the ban on PFI, Islamic organizations are also protesting. In such a situation, allowing other organizations to hold rallies can lead to communal violence. On the day the RSS sought permission for the rally, several other organizations also reportedly sought permission from the government to take out the march. In such a situation, the government did not allow anyone to march.
