  "account": "On October 15, 2026, people gathered for a Tiranga March by the AISF and AIYF, marching from PVR Plaza towards Central Park at Connaught Place in New Delhi. The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) shut down Central Park due to the proposed protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) ahead of the event. The Supreme Court refused an urgent hearing on the plea against the NDMC order to shut down Central Park, stating, \"We hope better sense will prevail on everyone.\" The Court acknowledged that the issues surrounding the protest, such as the right to protest, the proposed selling of mungfali, and concerns over law and order, were interconnected. Justice Bagchi added, \"Someone wants to protest, someone wants to sell mungfali, someone wants law and order. All these are related.\" The Court also mentioned that they would exercise their constitutional jurisdiction if the situation resulted in business losses, and that they would consider doing so if necessary.",
  "summary": "Justice Bagchi observed that the various issues surrounding the protest, including the right to protest, the proposed selling of 'mungfali' and concerns over law and order, were interconnected",
