Kalaburagi, Oct 30 (NationPress) The Karnataka High Court has instructed the state government to organize a peace meeting involving the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and ten other organizations in Bengaluru, postponing the Sangh's request for permission to conduct an event until November 7.

The court has mandated that the state government facilitate the peace meeting on November 5.

In a significant move, the RSS is requesting authorization to hold a march on November 2 in Chittapur, a constituency represented by Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge.

Simultaneously, the RSS has presented an affidavit to the bench prior to the arguments.

The RSS has included the Centre as a party in this legal proceeding.

Moreover, the RSS is seeking assurance of security from the central government during its march. The affidavit warns, "If the state government persists in its reluctance to provide adequate protection for the celebration and to allow the petitioner to exercise their fundamental rights, the only recourse for the petitioner is through a Writ or order from the High Court."

Furthermore, the affidavit pleads, "In light of the aforementioned reasons, it is respectfully requested that the application be granted to allow the petitioner to include the Union of India as a respondent in this writ petition, in the interest of justice."

Interestingly, following the RSS's application for a march on November 2, ten other organizations have also sought permission for their own foot marches and processions on the same day.

The prior peace meeting, initiated by the Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner, was unsuccessful as Dalit organizations insisted that the RSS refrain from carrying lathis or the Bhagwa Dhwaj during its march, advocating instead for the national Tricolour and the Preamble of the Constitution to be upheld.

Deputy Commissioner Fauzia Taranum has submitted a report concerning this matter to the court.

Based on her report, the bench led by Justice M.G.S. Kamal has ordered the peace meeting to take place in Bengaluru at 3 p.m. on November 5, preferably within the office of the Advocate General.

The bench has further noted that the proceedings in this case should provide a framework for managing similar situations in the future.

Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty indicated that the government's aim is to resolve the situation amicably, informing the court that there would be no RSS march on November 2, and that preparations for the peace meeting on November 5 are underway. He clarified that the petitioner, Ashok Patil, was absent from the earlier discussions, having been represented by others.

Additionally, counsel for the petitioner, Arun Shyam, conveyed to the court that his client was unable to attend the previous peace meeting due to a family bereavement.
