Chennai, 17th April. Following a Supreme Court green flag, the RSS held route marches in 45 locations across Tamil Nadu on Sunday, and the events went off peacefully amid security.
L Murugan, Union Minister of State, was among those who attended meetings in various parts of the state, including Chennai, Madurai, Kancheepuram, and Chengalpet.
Police were stationed along the routes where RSS volunteers, dressed in their trademark white rolled-up sleeves and khaki trousers, marched.
The route marches passed off peacefully, police said.
The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court orders allowing the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) to hold marches in the state on April 11 and dismissed the Tamil Nadu government’s appeals.
Meanwhile, the RSS has stated that the route march is part of their regular training.
“Well-trained Swayamsevaks (volunteers) are members of the organisation. They range from daily wage earners, students to well-placed professionals, factory, office workers. Swayamsevaks working with their various other organisations also take part,” the organisation said in a statement.
“Sangh route march is a public exhibition of exemplary discipline by normal citizens and the organisation’s training abilities. RSS conducts its route march to instil confidence amongst the general public that Hindu society can walk together in an organised, disciplined and punctual manner,” it added.
