Delhi Fortified as CJP Prepares for March
Delhi is heavily guarded with police and barricades as a big protest group called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) plans a march to Parliament on Monday.
The protest started at Jantar Mantar, where many people gathered, including students on hunger strikes.
The CJP leader, Abhijeet Dipke, said the protest should be peaceful and asked people to bring Indian flags and pictures of important leaders.
The police are stopping the protest from reaching Parliament and have warned that breaking the rules will lead to punishment.
The protest is expected to be very large, with around 100,000 people joining.
The police are also watching the borders of Delhi to ensure safety.
Chaos erupted as police fired tear gas and used batons to stop protesters from reaching Parliament.
Clashes occurred at multiple locations, including Jantar Mantar, Rail Bhawan, Shastri Bhawan, and Janpath.
Anti-riot vehicles were deployed to block the march, and the South Gate of Parliament was closed for safety.
Delhi is heavily fortified with over 1,200 police personnel, barricades, and riot control vehicles ahead of a CJP-led protest march to Parliament.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke urged protesters to maintain peace and bring Indian flags, copies of the Constitution, and photos of B R Ambedkar or Mahatma Gandhi.
The protest at Jantar Mantar saw a large crowd, with students on hunger strikes and makeshift fans to cope with the humid weather.
Police have declared that no permission was sought for the march and have imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS.
The CJP expects around 100,000 participants, with the march planned to start around 9 am on Monday, though protesters may not be allowed near Parliament.
