No permission for CJP's Parliament march: Delhi Police warns of action
The move comes a day after activist Sonam Wangchuk was forcibly shifted to Safdarjung Hospital after his health deteriorated on the 21st day of his hunger strike.
Delhi Police has strengthened security around sensitive areas, including Jantar Mantar, Parliament Street, Central Vista, Shankar Chowk and Connaught Place, while additional forces have been kept on standby.
Delhi Police on Sunday said that no permission had been sought or granted for the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) proposed 'Chalo Sansad' march on Monday, as it stepped up security across the national capital ahead of the Parliament session.
In a statement, Delhi Police said no approval had been given for any such protest march or procession.
Delhi Police said prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced Section 144 of the CrPC, are currently in force in the New Delhi district.
Under these orders, protest marches, processions, demonstrations and gatherings of five or more people are prohibited, except at the designated protest site at Jantar Mantar with prior permission.
"Any person violating these prohibitory orders shall be liable for prosecution under Section 223 of the BNS and other applicable provisions of law," Delhi Police said.
The restrictions come as the Monsoon Session of Parliament begins on Monday, with Delhi Police saying strict security arrangements have been put in place to ensure public safety, security of protectees and protection of key government installations.
Security has been intensified across the national capital, with additional barricading, vehicle checks, pickets and deployment of personnel at key locations.
Officials said the measures are preventive in view of the Parliament session and the proposed protest, which stems from the hunger strike led by activist Sonam Wangchuk over the past three weeks.
These anti India traitors should be exposed. I hope the Court and the country citizens see through their masks. To be sure, blackmailing tactics won't work with Modi.
