New Delhi, Jan 9: Newly-elected Gujarat legislator and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani has called for ‘Yuva Hunkaar Rally’ in the national capital today. The Delhi Police has denied permission for ‘Yuva Hunkaar Rally’, but Jignesh Mevani and his supporters seem adamant on defying the order. The ‘Yuva Hunkaar Rally’ is planned to be addressed by Mevani along with Assam peasant leader Akhil Gogoi.
“No permission granted so far by Delhi Police to hold proposed protest at Parliament Street in view of NGT orders. Organisers have been constantly advised to go to alternate site, which they are reluctant to accept,” the office of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), New Delhi, tweeted last night. However, messages on WhatsApp and social networking sites said the rally would take place at the designated time and location.
