Chennai, Sept 30 (BPNS)
The founder leader of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Thol Thirumavalavan has lashed out against the DMK government’s decision to ban its rally on October 2. The Dalit leader who is also a Member of Parliament said that the VCK and the left parties, CPI and CPI-M which were together to hold the rally against the RSS were political parties and not following the sectarian politics of RSS.
The VCK leader while speaking to reporters here on Friday however welcomed the ban on the RSS march of October 2. He said that he would accept the fear expressed by the state government that allowing RSS to carry out ‘route marches’ in 50 places immediately after the ban inflicted on Popular Front of India (PFI) could lead to law and order issues.
He said that while the VCK and the left parties participate in democratic elections, the RSS was not like them and was spreading hate and fascism in the society.
Thol Thirumavalavan said, “ The state government considers both PFI and the RSS as religious organizations. However, the decision to disallow the rally planned by the VCK and the left parties for social harmony is really shocking.”
The senior leader said that several other political parties and democratic organizations had expressed their support for the rally and said that these organizations were not religious and were not spreading hate among the people of the state.
