Protest in Bengaluru condemns harassment of women protesters in Delhi

A protest in Bengaluru on Tuesday condemned the harassment of women protesters during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi. Organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), the All India Students Association (AISA), and other groups, the demonstration took place at Freedom Park. Protesters alleged that "right-wing goons" were present and harassed women demonstrators, even issuing death threats.

Shairik Sengupta, vice-president of AISA in Bengaluru, criticized the Delhi Police's actions, stating, "We have seen the Delhi Police run towards women to harass them. What kind of protection is the groping of women?" The protesters welcomed the State government's inquiry into "police high-handedness" against anti-SIR protesters in Delhi, hoping it would translate into action.
