Scores of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) volunteers, both boys and men in uniform, marched on the streets of Puducherry in a procession on Sunday, even as the neighbouring Tamil Nadu denied them permission and pulled up by a court to allow them on November 6 instead.
Bharatiya Janata Party MP in Puducherry, S Selvaganapathy, flagged off the procession around 4pm where the members wearing their uniform (dark olive green trousers, white shirt, cap, belt, black shoes) were led by a musical band, and vehicles which carried saffron flags.
A Namassivayam, present home minister and former president of the Puducherry Congress Pradesh Committee, who was among the rebels to switch over to the BJP last year, also participated wearing the traditional uniform of the RSS, the ideological mentor of the BJP.
More than 500 RSS volunteers from various shakas (branches) participated in the march, which culminated in a public meeting. The procession went through Puducherry’s arterial roads and important points such as Nehru street. More than a 1,000 police officers were deployed along the march route to prevent any law and order issue.
