Outfits like RSS and PFI carrying out illegal arms training, will take action: P Vijayan

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said outfits like RSS and Popular Front of India were carrying out illegal drills and arms training and government would take stern action against them.

The government, if needed, would bring in a law to ban drills and arms training being conducted in public and in places of worship, Vijayan said during the question hour in the state assembly.

It has come to the notice of the government that RSS uses certain places of worship, school grounds and also unoccupied land of individuals for conducting drills using sticks. He said: “PFI & RSS are conducting arms training, such drills are against the laws of the land. We have information that some organisations are carrying out training with sticks even in Devaswom temples. If needed will bring law to ban it.”
