Ram Navami procession did not have permission from police: Abhishek

Trinamul Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee urged people not to spare those who have created trouble in the guise of Ram Navami procession and in the same breath said both the rallies did not have any permission from the police.

Addressing a Press conference at Trinamul Bhavan this afternoon, Mr Banerjee said: "The BJP is telling lie. They are showing the letter of application to the police but not the letter of permission."

He said the police had given four guidelines on March 21, which said the rally should start at 2.30 p.m, and end by 5 p.m. and the time and route should be strictly followed. No member of the rally should show provocative gesture, posture or use malicious slogans. No member should carry weapons or use motor cycles in the rally. Moreover, the organisers would have to give the names of the volunteers. The application was made by the VHP. All the conditions were flouted, he said.
