The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday stayed directives issued earlier this month requiring private organisations to take permission from the state government for conducting activities on its premises, reported PTI.

The Congress government in Karnataka had issued the directives on October 18. The action was likely to impact the activities of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the parent organisation of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The directives had come days after Karnataka Information Technology Minister Priyank Kharge wrote to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seeking a ban on RSS activities in all public spaces.
