CJP protest-like scenes at Jantar Mantar as ‘Reservation Hatao’ stir draws massive crowd; several detained
Many visuals on X showed police personnel detaining protesters as a large number of people gathered at the site carrying banners and posters
On Friday, the Delhi Police detained demonstrators at Jantar Mantar during an anti-reservation protest. Security was heightened in the vicinity as a large crowd, carrying banners and saffron flags, gathered to demand that economic criteria be prioritized over caste in government assistance and reservation eligibility. The protesters were organized via social media and had demanded a change in the reservation system, proposing the use of a creamy-layer criterion and a review of the existing framework.
Police had obtained a no-objection certificate for a peaceful protest at an alternative location, but the demonstration at Jantar Mantar proceeded without permission.
