Hyderabad Police denies permission for AIMIM Rally at Charminar
Much before the High court order, the Hyderabad police denied permission to AIMIM party from holding a public meeting at the historic Charminar on January 25th evening. The Hyderabad based political party has planned to hold a Mushaira (a social gathering where Urdu poetry is read), followed by flag hoisting. However, with no permission granted, the venue has now been shifted to Khilawat ground.
The parliamentarian took to social media to share the venue details. His tweet read, "Police rejected permission for the protest meeting at Charminar, they advised us to instead move it to nearby Khilwat Ground which we've accepted. Poets protest meeting against CAA, NRC and NPR will begin on 25th night and we'll welcome India's Republic Day by hoisting the tricolour at 12 am'.
