“We have come to inform, not seek permission.” Saurav Das rejects the requirement of prior permission for a protest, maintaining that a peaceful demonstration cannot be stopped.
The statement alleges that accusations were made over the protest not being communicated 10 days in advance and over guidelines not being followed. It calls on the authorities to specify a time and date, with an assurance that protesters would attend on the date fixed.
Saurav argues that the Constitution gives people the right to protest peacefully. If those in power do not accept protests, they have a full majority and can change the Constitution.
He also says the responsibility of the authorities is to provide people with a designated protest site. The clip does not identify the protest, its location, the authority concerned or any official response.
