Delhi Police on Thursday clarified that there is no plan to crackdown on the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party-led protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi tonight.
Replying to AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal’s post on X, in which he raised fears of another brutal attack on students, the Delhi Police advised him to refrain from unverified information.
“There is no plan of Delhi police to crack down on the ongoing protest tonight as is being conveyed. You are advised to refrain from spreading or circulating any misleading- unverified information,” police said.
The Delhi Police clarification comes shortly after INDIA bloc MPs, led by Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, visited Gandhi Smriti to express their solidarity with protesting students.
The MPs gathered at Rahul Gandhi’s residence and boarded a bus to visit the memorial.
CPI(M) MP John Brittas, who was among the Parliamentarians visiting the Gandhi memorial, also expressed fears of a crackdown.
He said that the Opposition MPs went to the memorial as “this government is going to launch a crackdown on students.”
Meanwhile, LoP Rahul Gandhi that “no one can stop us from standing with the students of India.”
“Our leader Mahatma Gandhi ji was assassinated over here. Today, the Modi government is assassinating democracy in India, brutalizing students, and beating students. The Opposition is not going to accept this. We are with the students, and Mr. Narendra Modi has to remove the Education Minister and apologise,” he said.
