Bengaluru: Hundreds of Policemen and other security forces stood guard at Bengaluru’s Freedom Park this morning to ensure that the BJP does not succeed in carrying out its controversial “Mangaluru Chalo.” There were also clashes between the BJP men and Police at the venue after party leaders and workers gathered there.
This, after the BJP was denied permission by the local Police to carry on with its protest plans, despite senior leaders of the party meeting newly-appointed Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy to seek requisite permissions to carry out the rally. The Bengaluru Police put in place prohibitory orders late yesterday, while Mangaluru Police have denied permission to hold the rally.
