Silencing Voice of Dissent
Presence of swarms of policemen failed to deter the resurgent Opposition from marshalling supporters for Dharna Chowk protest on Monday. As the time kept ticking, activists from different political parties, TJAC and rights organizations kept trooping from different points of the city, much to the dismay of the policemen, who turned the protest site into their fortress.
Presence of swarms of policemen failed to deter the resurgent Opposition from marshalling supporters for Dharna Chowk protest on Monday. As the time kept ticking, activists from different political parties, TJAC and rights organizations kept trooping from different points of the city, much to the dismay of the policemen, who turned the protest site into their fortress.
The protestors made their message loud and clear: No relocation of Dharna Chowk. Allegations against the government flew thick and fast. Opposition parties alleged that policemen in the garb of walkers' association members and residents tried their best to fish in the troubled waters. In no time, the scene near Indira Park resembled like that of a battlefield, with the baton-wielding cops on one side, slogan-shouting fiery protestors on the other.
