Nagpur (Maharashtra): Several workers and leaders of Bharat Mukti Morcha (BMM) were detained by police on Thursday after they held a protest against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) outside their headquarters here. Among those detained included the president of Bharat Mukti Morcha Vaman Meshram.
The BMM was protesting against RSS since, according to them, the right-wing group was "anti-constitution". Nagpur Commissioner of Police, Amitesh Kumar said Bharat Mukti Morcha had sought permission for a rally on October 6 which was denied considering the law and order situation.

"In the wake of law and order situation, we didn't give them permission. Since their people didn't cooperate, we implemented Section 144 of CrPC in Jaripatka and Panchpaoli areas. Some of their leaders have been detained," said Kumar.
Interestingly, only a day ago, uniformed volunteers of RSS carried out a 'Path Sanchalan' or street march from Reshimbagh Maidan in Nagpur. Thousands of volunteers participated in the march. The two Path Sanchalans of Sangh Swayamsevak passed through different areas of the city. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat was also present on the occasion.
