Police reportedly approached the Constitution Club in Delhi and asked it to cancel the booking for AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s town hall scheduled for August 1, which will discuss opposition to the E20 fuel policy.
Police officers approached the premises of the Constitution Club in Delhi and requested the venue management to cancel the booking for a town hall meeting organised by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The event, scheduled for August 1, is set to address the party’s stance against the E20 fuel policy.
Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP chief, has alleged that the central government is attempting to disrupt the gathering. He said the police intervention was aimed at preventing the meeting from taking place.
The Constitution Club, a popular venue for political and cultural events, has not yet released an official statement regarding the police request. AAP officials have expressed concern over the alleged interference and are preparing alternative arrangements.
The incident comes amid growing tensions between the central government and opposition parties over the E20 fuel policy, which aims to reduce petrol consumption.
Observers note that the timing of the police approach coincides with the lead-up to the town hall, raising questions about the intent behind the intervention.
