'Reservation Hatao Andolan' protest LIVE: Delhi police gives permit for agitation at Ramlila Maidan
Reservation Hatao protest LIVE updates: The NOC issued by Delhi Police allows a maximum of 500 people to gather at the Ramlila Maidan until 4 pm, with the police stating that it had “no objection" for the protest from “a law and order point of view”.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a scathing attack on opposition leader Rahul Gandhi after he staged a protest outside the Parliament Street Police Station. The BJP accused Gandhi of disrespecting the rule of law and creating "anarchy" by staging the sit-in without permission or prior notice. Ravi Shankar Prasad, a BJP MP, stated that an FIR had already been registered over the incident and that a high-powered committee set up by the Supreme Court was investigating the matter.
Prasad questioned Gandhi's motives and accused him of attempting to undermine the legal process. The Congress MP, along with Sahil Lochab, who allegedly suffered pellet gun injuries during a protest on July 20, continued his sit-in at Parliament Street Police Station, demanding that the FIR be registered. Congress sources reported that Lochab had submitted a written complaint but was allegedly not provided an I/O number or acknowledgement.
The BJP's attack on Gandhi suggests that they believe his actions are an attempt to undermine the rule of law and create chaos.
