Central Park in Connaught Place in the national capital will remain shut on October 16 and 17 ahead of the Kokraj Janta Party's Lehra Do Thiranga March. The Delhi Police informed the Delhi High Court that measures will be taken against CJP leader Abhijeet Deepke and appealed to protesters and the public not to join such assemblies. While police stated they will facilitate 11 persons carrying the national flag and singing the national anthem, the CJP alleged it is an attempt to restrict their demonstration and vowed to proceed. Police cited Section 163 prohibitory orders in adjoining areas, with possible metro station closures and force deployment to prevent mobilization.

00:00Central Park in Connaught Place in the heart of the National Capital to remain shut on October 16th and 17th
00:08ahead of the Kokhrut Janta Party's Lehrado Thiranga March.
00:12The Delhi Police tells the Delhi High Court that all possible measures will be taken against CJP leader Abhijit Dhipke
00:21appeals to the protesters as well as the general public not to join such assemblies.
00:27Delhi Police now claiming they will facilitate a group of 11 persons carrying the national flag and the singing of
00:33the national anthem at a suitable place.
00:37The CJP is saying this is a clear attempt to restrict their protest and they will go ahead with their
00:43planned protest.
00:44Shreya Chatterjee is now joining me. Shreya, the High Court gave permission to the Kokhrut Janta Party to hold this
00:51protest.
00:51Now you've got the Delhi Police putting in restrictions and shutting down Connaught Place for two days.
00:59So we are now heading into another possible confrontation between the police and the CJP.
01:04What preparations are being made? We are told once again Metro stations for example could be shut.
01:10Well absolutely Rajdeep you know because Delhi Police has cited droid kishnari orders of section 163 implemented in and around
01:17the adjoining regions of Connaught Place.
01:20We will see the similar exercise being carried out that we have already seen Delhi Police doing.
01:25Shutting down of metros could be a possibility but there will be forces on the ground to ensure that such
01:30mobilisation is not allowed.
01:32And they have also said that they know that there is a mobilisation happening under the call of CJP with
01:37support from the Ahmad Dhi Party as well as per the permission they have already got for requesting.
01:42So clearly the Delhi Police will do the same that is clear because they have also cited that there was
01:48an October 14 writ petition because of which they have to follow order to ensure there is safety and security
01:53to the people of Delhi as well.
01:54So we will not see any difference in the kind of clash that we have already seen with the Delhi
01:59Police and the CJP.
02:02Right okay Shreya Chatterjee joining us with those details.
02:05We will wait and see how this plays out but clearly in the heart of the national capital we now
02:09may have another confrontation brewing.
02:12Kokruj Janta Party saying that they are going to lead this Yatra tomorrow now.
