Calcutta HC Allows RSS Rally In Burdwan, Sets Aside Objections Of Bengal Govt


The Calcutta High Court on Friday set aside the objections of the West Bengal government and granted conditional permission to RSS to hold a rally in the Burdwan district on February 16.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was scheduled to address a rally in Burdwan district on February 16, but the police had denied permission for the rally. The West Bengal police had denied permission on grounds that the use of loudspeakers during the ongoing Madhyamik Pariksha (secondary exams) would cause disturbance to examinees. 

However, a bench of Justice Amrita Sinha set aside the objections of the West Bengal government for the rally and added that the organisers kept a check on the strength of the attending crowd as well as on the volume of the loudspeakers.

While the petitioner argued that there weren’t any schools in close proximity to the rally venue, the bench observed that there weren’t any exams scheduled on Sunday, the day of the proposed rally.
