RSS rallies no threat to anyone: BJP

“Such rallies are carried across the country”

Srinagar: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary, Ashok Koul on Wednesday said that RSS rally in J&K is no threat to anyone.
He said that the rally was held in a simple manner as it is being held in any part of the country.
“RSS rally is no threat to anyone. RSS carries such rallies across the country. There is no need to politicize the matter,” he said.
Pertinently, opposition parties have termed holding of RSS rallies in Jammu as “provocative” while former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has described it as unconstitutional, saying “such provocative rallies would only increase communal tension in the state.”
“To grant permission for holding of rallies is the job of authorities. We have no role in that,” he said while replying to a query.
Ashura procession was not allowed in the Srinagar as authorities had placed curfew and restrictions to prevent these processions.
However, in Jammu, RSS was granted permission to hold rallies. (KNS)
