CJP’s Dipke Hits Back At ‘Anarchist’ Tag Amid Traders’ Anger: ‘Businesses Suffer When Govt Shuts City’
Dipke said restrictions, not peaceful protests, disrupt business as traders warned the planned gathering could cost Connaught Place businesses Rs 200 crore a day.
- Following the detention of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka on October 13, the organization planned to wave the national flag at Central Park in Connaught Place. Dipke defended the group's right to peaceful protest.
- The Union Home Ministry withdrew Jantar Mantar's status as a designated protest site shortly before the latest confrontation. Agitation intensified after authorities detained Das and Ranka, sending them to judicial custody.
- According to PTI, more than 6,000 Delhi Police personnel and 220 companies of the Central Armed Police Forces deployed to New Delhi. Traders' associations warned the Supreme Court the gathering could affect business worth Rs 200 crore daily.
- A Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi observed the court could award compensation if Connaught Place shuts down. The dispute has brought the right to protest into focus.
- Dipke defended peaceful protest, citing demonstrations in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru, and Nagpur as "peaceful." He claimed assault in Jaipur but rejected retaliation, stating physical force contradicts the organization's approach.
