CJP protest in Delhi LIVE: No objection to Wangchuk shifting to Medanta Hospital, Centre tells Delhi High Court The Delhi High Court today heard arguments in the case of a protest by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) outside the residence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The protesters were demanding the transfer of activist Nodeep Kaur to a hospital after she was allegedly physically assaulted by the police during her arrest. The court today saw a sudden turn of events as the counsel for the Centre, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, revealed that they had no objections to the transfer of Nodeep Kaur to Medanta Hospital for proper medical treatment..

This development came after the CJP had demanded that Nodeep be shifted to a better facility for her treatment, citing concerns over her safety and well-being. In a separate development, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has announced that he will be visiting Nodeep Kaur at Medanta Hospital to meet with the activist and offer his support to her and her family. This move has been seen as an attempt by Gandhi to demonstrate his solidarity with the CJP and its cause..

The CJP, in a statement, expressed gratitude to Rahul Gandhi for his decision to visit Nodeep Kaur at the hospital. The CJP leader, Abhijeet Dipke, also issued a statement on the occasion, apologising to the supporters and protesters who were ‘brutally beaten’ by the police during the demonstration outside Amit Shah’s residence. Dipke said, We express our sincerest apologies to the brave women and men who stood with us during the protest and were brutally beaten by the police..

Their bravery and sacrifice will not go unnoticed, and we will continue to fight for their rights and justice. He also praised Nodeep Kaur for her courage and determination in the face of adversity. In a related development, several human rights organisations have condemned the police action during the protest, describing it as ‘excessive’ and ‘unjustified’..

They have also called upon the government to take immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future. The Delhi Police has come under scrutiny for its handling of the protest, with many questioning the force’s use of excessive force against unarmed protesters. The police have defended their actions, stating that they were acting in accordance with their protocols and the law..

As the drama unfolds, the Centre is facing increased pressure to take action against those responsible for the assault on Nodeep Kaur. The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced that it will conduct a high-level inquiry into the incident, with the aim of ascertaining the facts and recommending necessary action. The CJP and its supporters have vowed to continue their protests until justice is delivered to Nodeep Kaur and all those who were injured during the demonstration..

They have also reiterated their demand for the removal of the Delhi Police Commissioner and other senior officers who were involved in the crackdown on the protest. The case has sparked widespread condemnation from civil society, human rights groups, and opposition parties across the country. Many have expressed their concern over the government’s handling of the situation and the use of excessive force against peaceful protesters..

The Delhi High Court is likely to continue its hearing on the matter tomorrow, with the Centre and the CJP expected to present their arguments and evidence. The court’s decision is expected to have significant implications for the case, with the possibility of significant action being taken against those responsible for the assault on Nodeep Kaur. As the country waits with bated breath for the court’s decision, the CJP and its supporters remain resolute in their demand for justice and accountability..

They are determined to continue their protests and fight for the rights of those who were injured during the demonstration, including Nodeep Kaur. In the meantime, the Delhi Police has launched a fresh inquiry into the incident, with a team of officers being tasked with identifying the police personnel responsible for the assault on Nodeep Kaur. The team is expected to submit its report within the next 72 hours, which is expected to provide a clear picture of the events that unfolded during the protest..
