Karnataka cabinet clears Bill to regulate public space use by unregistered entities

The Karnataka cabinet has cleared a Bill to regulate the use of public spaces by unregistered entities, a move that deepens the conflict between the ruling Congress government and organisations like the RSS, which has a substantial presence in the state.

The legislation aims to impose stricter controls on groups operating without formal registration when they seek to use public venues. The initiative reflects the government's continued friction with right-wing organisations, particularly the RSS, which operates across Karnataka.
