This news report focuses on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) planning over 3,000 centenary events across Karnataka to mark 100 years of the organisation. The speaker notes that ‘the RSS may be expanding its statewide footprint’ following a High Court ruling that stayed the Siddaramaiah government’s restrictions on RSS activities. The court has allowed these events on government land without requiring prior permission. These programmes are expected to span wards, taluks, and districts, potentially drawing lakhs of participants. The report highlights a possible fresh showdown between the RSS and the Congress-led state government, which had previously opposed such events in public places. The expansion of these centenary celebrations across the state marks a significant move for the organisation in the Congress-ruled territory.
