‘Reservation Hatao’ protest gets Delhi Police nod, to be held at Ramlila Ground today
Delhi Police has given a no-objection certificate for a peaceful protest under the “Reservation Hatao Andolan” at Ramlila Ground on Friday
The Delhi Police has given a no-objection certificate (NOC) for a peaceful protest called "Reservation Hatao Andolan" at Ramlila Ground on Friday, according to an official communication. The gathering is allowed to have a maximum of 500 people until 4 pm, with police stating there was "no objection from the law and order point of view."
The campaign has gained momentum through an Instagram-based page, the "Reservation Hatao Andolan," which has 5.6 million followers. The protest comes after the police denied permission for a protest at Jantar Mantar earlier that day. The organisers must follow guidelines and cannot hold a procession or stay at the venue. The campaign argues that caste-based reservations undermine merit and deepen caste divisions, instead calling for equal opportunities based on merit.
