On Thursday, Tamil Nadu government denied permission for RSS march in 50 locations across Tamil Nadu on October 2. The state police cited law and order for denying permission.

The permission was denied in the wake of multiple bomb attacks at the residence of BJP and RSS members in Tamil Nadu. The BJP members alleged that the attacks were carried out by PFI members since their houses were raided by NIA.
