Hindu Raksha Dal president Pinky Chaudhry has announced plans for a Delhi gathering, calling on party members and allied Hindu nationalist organizations to assemble at 10 a.m. The move comes ahead of a demonstration planned for October 10 at Jantar Mantar in the capital.
In a video released by Chaudhry, the organization signaled its intention to mobilize supporters in response to the scheduled protest. The announcement represents an escalation in organizing efforts, with the Hindu Raksha Dal seeking to bring its cadres to Delhi on the day of the demonstration.
The statement reflects growing tensions in the national capital, with multiple organizations planning simultaneous events at the same location. The appeal for early-morning mobilization suggests organizers are preparing for a significant show of force and numbers.
No official permission or communication from municipal authorities regarding the counter-mobilization has been reported. The dual organizing efforts raise potential concerns about maintaining public order in the Jantar Mantar area on October 10.
