A single-judge bench of the Calcutta High Court dismissed the West Bengal BJP’s request to hold a protest outside the state secretariat, Nabanna. The plea was denied due to security concerns as Nabanna is a high-security zone. Instead, the court suggested Mandirtala Crossing as an alternative venue for the demonstration.
The West Bengal BJP is planning to challenge this decision by approaching a division bench of the Calcutta High Court. The initial plea was made by the BJP seeking permission to protest in front of Nabanna, which was ultimately rejected by the court.
During simultaneous raids at the I-PAC office and the residence of its co-founder, Mamata Banerjee visited the locations. The Chief Minister, along with state officials, collected certain documents during these visits. The BJP had intended to protest at Nabanna, but due to security reasons, they needed special permission.
