RSS Displays Strength and Discipline with Pathasanchalan in Ballari
RSS organized a disciplined Pathasanchalan route march in Ballari, Karnataka, to celebrate Vijayadashami and the Sangh's foundation day.
As part of the traditional Vijayadashami celebrations, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) conducted a grand RSS Pathasanchalan in the city of Ballari, Karnataka, on Saturday. The route march, characterized by strict discipline and a strong sense of organization, served as a public demonstration of the Swayamsevaks' commitment to national service and the supreme glory of Bharat.
A Disciplined March Through the City
Dressed in their official Ganavesh (uniform), the Swayamsevaks marched in synchronized steps, capturing the attention of residents across the city. The event was not merely a parade but a proclamation of patriotism, national unity, and a resolve to contribute toward nation-building.
The march followed a strategic route through the heart of Ballari, beginning at the Kittur Rani Chennamma School. From there, the procession moved through several prominent landmarks, including:
- Durgamma Gudi Circle
- Royal Circle
- Meenakshi Circle
- Brucepet Circle
After traversing these major intersections, the march turned back and headed toward its final destination at the Kotturu Swamy Matha, located in front of Prabhat Talkies.
The Significance of Vijayadashami
Organizing a route march on the occasion of Vijayadashami is a long-standing tradition of the RSS, as the date coincides with the foundation day of the Sangh. The event is designed to showcase the organizational spirit of the volunteers and reiterate their dedication to social service and the ideals of the organization.
Tension in Maharashtra During Separate RSS Procession
While the events in Ballari remained peaceful, a different scenario unfolded in Maharashtra. In Kingaon village, situated within the Yawal police station limits of the Jalgaon district, a separate RSS procession met with opposition.
A group of individuals protested the rally by sitting on the road, attempting to block its path and creating a disturbance. According to Jalgaon Additional SP Sandeep Gavit, senior police officials, including the SP, arrived at the scene to negotiate with the demonstrators.
When the group refused to vacate the road, the police were forced to use mild force and a lathi charge to clear the way, ensuring the RSS rally could proceed safely. Some of the individuals involved in the disruption were taken into custody.
"Things are calm in the village right now. The entire police force is currently stationed in Kina village. I would urge everyone, on behalf of the police department, not to believe any rumours and to report any information directly to the police," stated Additional SP Sandeep Gavit.
