Telangana HC refuses permission for RSS parade in Bhainsa on Feb 19

The Telangana High Court on Friday refused to grant permission for Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) Padha Sanchalan (march) and sharirikh pradarshan at Bhainsa on Februaury 19. Sadula Krishnadas, the head of the RSS, Bhainsa moved a lunch motion before Justice B Vijaysen Reddy challenging the refusal of permission by the police department.

The petitioner said that RSS has a practice of conducting sharirik utsavam at town level biennially. The members participate in the utsavam, dressed up in uniforms, marching along the streets and end it with physical performances and



speech. On the other hand the Governemnt Pleader for Home, Samala Ravinder informed court that Shab-e-Miraj (Bade Raat) of Muslims is on February 19 and pointed out that Bhainsa town is communal sensitive. He told court that, even on earlier occasions the BJP was permitted to conduct rallies and public meetings. 

The judge then suggested the petitioner to conduct their utsavam on any other day. However, he also directed the government pleader to get instructions from the police department and adjourned the case to Februaury 20.
