BENGALURU: The Congress-led government in Karnataka on Thursday re-released an old circular issued by the office of the Commissioner of the Karnataka Public Instruction Department, which forbids using government school grounds for private purposes.
The circular, dated February 7, 2013, clearly states that government school grounds and premises should not be used for private purposes or for activities other than academic ones.
With this, the Siddaramaiah government seems to be preparing to ban Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activities on the premises of government and aided schools in the state. This follows a letter on the issue from Minister for RDPR, IT and BT, Priyank Kharge.
