The day before yesterday, our people came to construct the infrastructure. The police stopped them. We don’t know what the reason is.”Also Read | CJP protest | A city sealed off: Empty roads, barricades and detained protestersVenugopal alleged that the decision to deny permission was that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, not Delhi Police. “They are protecting Gyanesh Kumar… But we are not going to succumb to this.
