Prakash Ambedkar backs CJP protest, urges people to gather at Mumbai's Hutatma Chowk

Mumbai, Oct 10 (UNI) Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) chief Prakash Ambedkar on Saturday backed the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) protest against the Election Commission in New Delhi, accusing the Centre of using restrictive measures to prevent peaceful demonstrations and urging people to gather at Mumbai's Hutatma Chowk in solidarity with the agitation.
Speaking to reporters, Ambedkar alleged that the cancellation of trains, closure of metro stations and other restrictions are intended to prevent protesters from reaching Delhi. He said political parties have constitutional right to organise peaceful demonstrations and described the alleged attempts to obstruct the protest as dictatorsip or authoritarian.
He claimed that protesters were being stopped at barricades and forced to walk several kilometres to reach the demonstration venue. Notices, arrests and the threat of legal action were also being used to discourage participation, he alleged, urging the authorities to allow the agitation to proceed peacefully.
