The Delhi police reiterated that the “provocative” speeches given by religious and political leaders, including Baba Ramdev and Sadhvi Ritambara, was the main reason which has forced it to cancel the permission for the yoga guru’s protest at Ramlila Maidan.
The police claimed that Baba Ramdev gave a provocative speech in the Ramlila Maidan announcing his protest will end only with his death or if 1.25 crore people desire to end it.
The police went on saying that Baba Ramdev and his associates allegedly refused to accept the letter cancelling permission for his camp and dared senior officials to do “whatever they wanted” to do.
Bharat Swabhiman Trust, which had organised the protest here, had sought a permission from the Delhi police for a yoga session for 5,000 people only from June 1 for 20 days but the numbers increased main-fold to more than 25,000 by June 3 midnight.
