Welcoming the ban on RSS march on October 2, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi founder Thol Thirumavalavan said the State government’s decision to ban VCK-Left rally for social harmony on the same day was ‘unjustified’.
Speaking to reporters, he said he would accept the fears expressed by the State government and the police that allowing RSS rally in 50 locations at a time when PFI has been banned by the Centre would lead to law-and-order issues in the State.
“In the State government’s point of view, PFI and RSS are both being seen as religious organisations. However, the decision to disallow the rally planned by VCK and Left parties for social harmony is shocking. Those organisations (RSS and PFI) are not political parties while VCK, CPM and CPI are political parties. Several other political parties and democratic organisations expressed their support for the rally. These organisations are neither religious nor do they spread hate among people,” he said.
