West Bengal: High court allows BJP to hold November 29 rally at Kolkata site used by Trinamool Congress

The Calcutta high court permitted the BJP to hold a rally near Victoria House at Esplanade, upholding the single bench order and dismissing the petition filed by the West Bengal government. The High Court criticized the Kolkata Police for denying permission to the BJP rally without a reason. The court observed that the advisory for applications two to three weeks prior to the program was not a rigid rule. The state BJP unit welcomed the verdict as historical.
