‘Stop Conducting RSS Shakha In Land Of Vallalar’, Say Vadalur Residents & Force Cadre To Leave The Stadium

The RSS shakha was held at a ground near Thiru Arutpragaasa Vallalaar Dheiva Nilayam, a place of worship for Tamil saint Valalar.

Chennai: Tension prevailed in Vadalur of Cuddalore district for the fourth consecutive day after residents of Vadalur forced RSS cadre who were conducting a shakha training on a stadium near Vallalar Nilaiyam to leave the place by stating that it was the land of Tamil Saint Vallalar. Following the incident, an agitated BJP cadre conducted a yoga practice camp in the same stadium on Thursday.

Initially, an RSS shakha was held at a ground near Thiru Arutpragaasa Vallalaar Dheiva Nilayam, a place of worship for Tamil saint Valalar. The RSS cadre from Neyveli, Panruti and Kadampuliyur gathered at the stadium and practiced a martial art form 'Silambam'.

However, the residents said that the cadre also reportedly took religious oaths and spoke about religious preaching. 

The people who were visiting the temple and passersby near the ground, however, got angered by slogans and started an argument with the RSS cadre.
