Mamata Banerjee and other MAITC leaders were scheduled to join today’s protest at Jantar Mantar. However, they were denied permission to leave
Former West Bengal Chief Minister and Mamata All India Trinamool Congress (MAITC) chief Mamata Banerjee, along with other party leaders, were apprehended by the Delhi Police from a bus stop in South Avenue, Delhi, where they were holding a protest. The detained leaders were set to join a protest at Jantar Mantar today. However, their permit to proceed was denied, leading Ms. Banerjee and her supporters to remain at the South Avenue bus stop, carrying placards with messages like 'EC looted Bengal' and 'Save Democracy, Save India.'
Notable party members Abhishek Banerjee and Derek O'Brien have residences in this region. A Delhi Police representative later confirmed to The Hindu that Ms. Banerjee and her followers were indeed detained.
