Chennai: Tamil Nadu Police on Thursday arrested 44 members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Porur, Chennai, for conducting a Guru Puja and Shakha training session at the Ayyappanthangal Government Higher Secondary School without prior permission.

According to police, the RSS workers entered the school premises without authorization, prompting the headmaster to file a complaint. Following this, the police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for unlawful assembly and criminal trespass on government property.

Initially, 39 members were detained, but the number of arrests later rose to 44. All were booked under relevant sections of the BNS, and after the registration of an FIR, they were granted station bail.

Bengaluru: JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda has indicated that the party is open to an understanding with the NDA in the upcoming local body, taluk and zilla panchayat elections.

Speaking to reporters at J.P. Bhavan on Wednesday, he said the JD(S) is a regional party, while the BJP is a national party. “We have to wait and see what decision they take regarding a pre-poll alliance. As far as local body elections are concerned, we will discuss the matter together before taking a decision,” he said.

Responding to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s allegation that the JD(S) does not give positions to anyone outside the family, Deve Gowda said the charge has no substance. “My memory is still strong. I will respond to everything at the appropriate time,” he remarked.

He also said that a JD(S) convention will be held in Vijayapura on February 27 and that he has been invited to participate in the event.
