Following Supreme Court's permission, RSS held a rally in Coimbatore's Sivananda Colony on Sunday. Over 300 uniformed volunteers marched through main roads amid tight security.
Coimbatore: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) conducted a rally in Coimbatore's Sivananda Colony on Sunday, following the Supreme Court's permission for such events in Tamil Nadu. The march, which saw participation from over 300 uniformed volunteers, was held under heavy police protection.
The RSS, which celebrates its foundation day on Vijayadashami, traditionally organizes uniform-clad volunteer marches and public events across the country annually. This year, marking the beginning of RSS's centenary celebrations, rallies were held at two locations in Coimbatore - Vadavalli and Sivananda Colony.
The procession in Sivananda Colony began from the locality and proceeded through major roads before concluding at the Amrita School ground on Nallampalayam Road.
More than 300 RSS volunteers in uniform took part in this rally.
Following the march, a public event was held. Hundreds of police personnel were deployed for security in the areas where the rally and public meeting took place.
The RSS rally in Coimbatore is significant as it comes after a prolonged legal battle. The Tamil Nadu government had initially denied permission for such events, citing law and order concerns. However, the Supreme Court's intervention allowed the RSS to conduct these rallies, emphasizing the organization's right to peaceful assembly.
The event in Coimbatore passed off peacefully, with no untoward incidents reported. The successful conduct of the rally marks a notable development in the ongoing discourse about freedom of assembly and expression in Tamil Nadu.
