Tamil Nadu govt moves SC against RSS route march in state

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Tamil Nadu government has moved the Supreme Court against the Madras High Court order permitting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to take out its route march in the state on rescheduled dates.
The state government, in its plea before the top court, said the route march would pose a law and order problem and sought a stay on the high court order.
The Madras High Court on February 10 had permitted the RSS to take out its route march in Tamil Nadu on rescheduled dates, and observed that protests are essential for healthy democracy.
Setting aside the order passed on November 4, 2022 by a single judge that had imposed conditions on the proposed statewide route march asking the RSS to hold the march indoors or in enclosed space, the court restored the order dated September 22, 2022, which directed the Tamil Nadu police to consider the RSS’ representation seeking permission to conduct the march and a public meeting, as well, and to grant permission for the same.
Accordingly, it directed the appellants to approach the state authorities with three different dates of their choice for the purpose of holding the route march/peaceful procession and the state authorities were directed to grant permission to them on one of the chosen dates out of the three.
Also, the RSS was asked to ensure strict discipline and make sure there is no provocation or incitement on their part during the march. The state, on its part, should take adequate safety measures and make traffic arrangements to ensure the procession and the meeting are held peacefully, the bench said.
Challenging the single judge order, the RSS sought a direction to the authorities to permit their members to conduct the procession wearing their uniform (dark olive green trousers, white shirt, cap, belt, black shoes) through various routes throughout the state.
The organisation had earlier sought permission for the route march to commemorate the 75th year of Independence, the birth centenary of Bharat Ratna B R Ambedkar and Vijayadasami festival, on October 2, 2022, at various places and to also to conduct a public meeting on the same day.

[ad_1]
Chennai: The young scion of the Karunanidhi family and Tamil Nadu minister for Youth affairs and Sports, Udhayanidhi Stalin spoke to the Tamil student, who was allegedly attacked by ABVP students in JNU.
The Minister spoke to the victim through a video call while travelling in a car. The minister asked the student whether he was admitted in a hospital and whether he had sustained head injuries in the attack.
The student informed the minister that he was attacked by ABVP students.
It is painful to know that students from Tamil Nadu studying in #JNU were attacked by #ABVP political goons. They have also damaged the pictures of great leaders like Periyar & Karl Marx. This is highly condemnable. (1/3)

VCK screens Tamil version of banned BBC documentary on PM

[ad_1]
Chennai: VCK founder-leader Thol Thirumavalavan has said that the “politics of hate” practiced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi must be opposed.
On the occasion of the screening of the Tamil version of the BBC documentary on the Prime Minister at the party headquarter ‘Ambedkar Thidam’ on Sunday, Thirumavalavan said that Narendra Modi reached the top by spreading the politics of hate. He said that Modi has not come to the top by pursuing ideological politics or by fighting for the welfare of the poor and the working class.
Thol Thirumavalavan stated, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has grown and reached the top by spreading hate and letting loose violence claiming that only he has the ability to do such things. That’s how he grew from a state-level leader to a national leader.”
He said that a few organizations like the VCK and the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) were opposing the politics of the BJP and added that the discussion should be on what would happen to the country if Narendra Modi came back to power in 2024.
The VCK founder said that many are opposed to the politics of the VCK and the DK and are critical of Periyarism. He said, “We are not saying that Dravidar politics or Periyarism are beyond criticism but at present, the biggest challenge before us is Modi’s politics of hate.”
He asked, “How are we going to overcome the politics of hate practiced by Modi.”
The screening of the documentary by the Left activists was prevented in some campuses. This has led to the CPI-M Tamil Nadu state secretary, K. Balakrishnan issuing a statement calling upon the government to protect the basic rights of individuals.
VCK leader and Member of Parliament from Villupuram constituency D. Ravikumar, Tamil movie director Vettrimaran, and Dravidar Kazhagam leader Kali Poonkundran were present at the screening of the documentary.
