What is the whole matter?
Let us tell you that Jantar Mantar has been the main center of protests in Delhi for a long time. Under the new order of Delhi Police, now Ramlila Maidan, Burari Maidan and CBD Ground of East Delhi have been earmarked for demonstration. After this change, CJP has expressed objection to the decision. Also demanded permission for peaceful demonstration.
Let us tell you that CJP wants to protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and stopping the voter list SIR process. At the same time, party leaders say that removing a historical protest site like Jantar Mantar from the list raises questions on the right of the people to register their protest. These are the objections of the party, the police have decided to change the protest venue under their orders.

At present, the dispute is about change of protest venue, police permission and the right to peaceful protest. In the coming days, it will be important to see whether CJP gets permission to protest or not. Also, what kind of action does the administration take in this matter?
