Delhi High Court Questions Jantar Mantar as Protest Site Amid Pending Permission Plea
The Delhi High Court questioned the continued use of Jantar Mantar as a protest site, with Justice Amit Mahajan suggesting protests should not disrupt the city and asking why the venue isn't shut down. The court heard a plea from the All India Dalit Christian Rights Protection Committee seeking permission for a peaceful protest. The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) opposed any move to remove Jantar Mantar, demanding an alternative site if it is closed. The Delhi Police has yet to decide on the pending protest application.
