Karnataka: Authorities deny permission for RSS march; tensions rise as Bhim Army, Indian Dalit Panthers plan protests

"If the RSS, Bhim Army and Indian Dalit Panthers conduct processions in Chittapur town along the same route, there is a high possibility of clashes between the groups, which could disturb public peace and law and order. This assessment has been confirmed based on information collected from the public and police informants," the tahsildar explained in the order.

The Bhim Army State Youth Wing, Kalaburagi, expressed their opposition to the RSS march through a letter, stating it was intentionally planned against the minister's statement. They, along with the Indian Dalit Panthers, requested permission for their own march on the same route.
