The BJP moved to the Calcutta HC after not getting permission to hold a political meeting in West Bengal’s Howrah on July 21. BJP’s lawyer notified the court that the party was denied permission to hold a political rally in Howrah Rural for the campaign for Prime Minister’s works on July 21.
Notably, July 21st is also the ruling party in the state, TMC’s Martyr’s Day. The party is set to hold the Martyrs’ Day rally this year in Kolkata after a gap of two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the rally is happening after a gap of two years, the party is leaving no stone unturned for its grand success.
On the other hand, reports said that the BJP planned the rally on July 21 to counter TMC’s Martyr’s Day rally.
During the hearing, Calcutta HC asked the significance of choosing the said date saying the rally could be held on any other day too. Calcutta HC has asked both the parties to present the approximate number of people who will be present in the July 21st program along with a list of dignitaries expected to attend the event.
Chief Justice Division Bench reserved the order after hearing PIL against the gathering on July 21. The matter is posted for hearing on July 20 and the order will be passed tomorrow itself.
