Earlier, the Delhi Police had issued an NOC for a peaceful protest under the “Reservation Hatao Andolan” at the national capital's iconic Ramlila Ground on Friday, according to an official communication from the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central District.
The development comes amid a digital campaign by “Reservation Hatao Andolan”, an Instagram-based page that has gained momentum by adopting protest-mobilisation tactics used by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).
The campaign, which has 5.6 million followers on Instagram, had earlier called for an anti-reservation protest at Jantar Mantar on August 21.
The permission comes after the Delhi Police denied reports that a protest at Jantar Mantar had been granted permission.
“No permission has been granted for any protest, procession, demonstration or assembly at Jantar Mantar,” the police said in a statement shared on its official X account on Thursday.
