# Karnataka bill may require RSS to seek permission for shakhas 2026-08-13T17:32:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets The Karnataka cabinet on Thursday discussed a proposed bill to regulate the use of government premises and public property. Sources said the legislation would require all organisations, including unregistered ones, to obtain permission before holding events on public grounds or in government schools. The move is likely to affect Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) shakhas. Home Minister Priyank Kharge had earlier sought a ban on RSS activities in government spaces, alleging they instil negative ideas. The BJP has accused the Congress government of targeting the RSS. Separately, Chief Minister D K Shivakumar ordered a special commission for Adivasi and nomadic communities. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com - indiatoday.in - siasat.com - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: DK Shivakumar, Karnataka politics, public spaces bill, RSS, state regulation, tribal welfare Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-may-require-rss-to-seek-permission-for-public-spaces/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
