Padasanchalan was conducted at all three locations in Chennai successfully. Even though police authorities denied (read – backtracked) the permission for the sanchalan at the eleventh hour after initially providing us with permission to conduct the functions. Swayamsevaks (in Poorna Ganavesh – see photos below) gathered peacefully and sang patriotic songs and prarthana and courted arrest after a symbolic padasanchalan. Pada Sanchalan scheduled on 26th Jan at all three locations in Chennai has been postponed to 31st Jan 2010.
More than
250 Swayamsevaks in South Chennai
350 Swayamsevaks in Central Chennai and
425 Swayamsevaks in North Chennai
attended the function and courted arrest. All detained swayamsevaks were released by the police after a short while.
