I shall extend support ! – MLA- Narendra Pawar, BJP, Kalyan
I could not participate in demonstrations since I was not in town; but I extend support to the demonstrations. I am with you if you need anything, stated Shri. Narendra Pawar, BJP- MLA.
Police oppose, but citizens support demonstrations !
1. It was difficult to get permission from police initially; but devout Hindus were firm on staging demonstrations and it could be held with the initiative taken by devout Hindus.
2. Police were driving away people trying to listen to the subject taken up during demonstrations; still people were standing on one side and listening to what was said by speakers.
