Amid allegations of extremist slogans at a clean air protest, crowds converged at India Gate to express solidarity with the Delhi Police. The demonstrators held placards denouncing what they termed as 'anti-national elements' infiltrating civic protests.
Participants voiced strong opposition to any attempts to glorify Maoist leader Madvi Hidma, an insurgent killed recently in Andhra Pradesh. Demonstrations included slogans supporting the police force and calls for punitive measures against those allegedly promoting extremist ideologies.
Meanwhile, Delhi Law Minister Kapil Mishra raised concerns over protests being used as fronts to glorify insurgent figures, sparking heated debates online. This comes as police made 22 arrests in connection to the protest, citing obstruction and violence.
