Kasaragod, Apr 26: Stating that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is still organising arms training camps on temple premises in some parts of the State and attacking rivals, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that his government will take steps to formulate rules under the amended Kerala Police Act 2011 soon.
Mr. Vijayan said the RSS leadership was promoting arms training and attacks on their opponents in the name of cultural activities.
Earlier, CPI(M) activists were attacked by the RSS. But now RSS workers were targeting activists of the Congress and other political parties. The government was aware of RSS camps being organised on temple premises in some parts of the State and attacking rivals. The attacks were aimed at creating communal tension, the Chief Minister said, adding that even the mode of attack and weapons being used by RSS workers had changed drastically over the years.
The police had intervened effectively at many places, including Kasaragod, to ensure that communal harmony was not breached, he said. Stern action would be taken against those misusing places of worship, the Chief Minister added.
Restrictions had been enforced under Section 73 of the Kerala Police Act, 2011, and the police could ban mass drills under Section 75 if they felt it would affect peace.
