Bengaluru Groups Demand Lifting of Protest Restrictions by Constitution Day
Civil society groups in Bengaluru, including the Campaign for the Right to Protest, have set November 26, Constitution Day, as a deadline for the Karnataka government to revoke restrictions confining protests to Freedom Park. They argue these limits hinder democratic rights and plan a city-wide civil disobedience movement on November 28 if demands are unmet. The campaign calls for quashing FIRs against protesters and seeks dialogue with government officials. Critics highlight concerns over police actions and the narrowing of public spaces for dissent.
