Delhi High Court Questions Protests at Jantar Mantar, Seeks Police Decision on Plea
The Delhi High Court questioned the government's decision to continue allowing protests at Jantar Mantar, with Justice Amit Mahajan suggesting the site should be shut down to avoid disrupting the city. The court was hearing a plea from the All India Dalit Christian Rights Protection Committee, which sought police permission for a peaceful protest demanding inclusion of Dalit Christians in the Scheduled Castes category. The police have not yet decided on the application, pending since July. The government noted the Supreme Court is examining the site's status as a protest venue.
