About 5,000 supporters from 18 political parties, women’s organisations and civil organisations from 29 States, will participate in the protest.
Mild tension prevailed at Jantar Mantar on Thursday, after the Delhi police asked the Bharat Jagruthi to confine itself to only half of the protest area as they gave permission to the BJP to stage another protest against the Delhi excise policy scam on the same premises.
However, Bharat Jagruthi organisers along with Kavitha argued that they made arrangements for participation of around 5,000 people for the dharna and had obtained all permissions in advance.
For reasons unknown, the BJP leadership had withdrawn from the Jantar Mantar and decided to stage protest at Deendayal Marg.
