Rahul Gandhi, CJP Alleges Delhi Police Blocking Food Supplies to Jantar Mantar; Police Deny Claims
Rahul Gandhi alleged that Delhi Police is preventing people from reaching Jantar Mantar and stopping food supplies to the protest site. CJP National Spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka also shared WhatsApp screenshots claiming that students are being detained at checkpoints, food deliveries have been halted, and restaurants are being warned against supplying food to the protest venue.
“You cannot stop people from coming to Jantar Mantar. You cannot stop people from having food. You cannot stop people from helping us. Most importantly, you cannot stop Pradhan’s resignation. He is going,” Ashutosh said.
Delhi Police denied the allegations, calling them “completely false, baseless, and misleading.” In a post on X, the police clarified that no ban has been imposed on food delivery services in the New Delhi area and urged citizens not to believe or share unverified information. Delhi Police will also hold a briefing today for clarification into the misleading and false information related to Jantar Mantar protest, media sources said.
