The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal on Wednesday called protests at 23 locations in the national capital to mark their protest against the communal violence that took place in Nuh, Palwal and Gurugram districts of Haryana, which left six dead.
Among the 23 protests by the VHP and its subsidiary, the BD, in the National Capital Region, 18 were schedule to be held before 11 a.m. on August 2. However, senior advocate Chander Uday Singh said there was a plea in the Supreme Court seeking to stop the demonstrations/rallies announced by the right-wing groups.
While most of the protests organised by the VHP were peaceful, huge demonstrations were called at Delhi-Badarpur border, in Uttam Nagar and Brahmpuri localities, where senior VHP leaders addressed the gatherings.
At the time of filing, there were no reports of any law and order incidents at any of the demonstrations.
A couple of protests are also planned around 6 to 8 p.m.
The police said that no permission was sought by the right-wing groups for protests, including in northeast Delhi where communal violence broke out in 2020.
