Members of Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad have, since the morning, staged protests against the communal violence in several parts of Delhi. Reportedly, the protesters staged their rallies near East Delhi's Nirman Vihar Metro station and Ghonda Chowk, where slogans were raised.
As per a PTI report, despite the imposition of CrPC Section 144, which prohibits unlawful assembly of more than four people, Hindu rights group VHP held a demonstration in Gautam Buddh Nagar district's Noida.
The procession started from Noida Stadium in Sector 21A around 10 am and culminated near the District Magistrate's office in Sector 27. It reportedly witnessed participation from hundreds of members and supporters of VHP and Bajrang Dal.
