“No letter has been given seeking permission to hold a protest. With a view to maintain law and order permission has been denied,” said the police department.

VHP secretary Sharan Pumpwell said, “We had sought permission from the police to hold a protest. However, since we have been denied police permission it has been decided to condemn the violence that has erupted all over the country by submitting a petition to the president of India through the deputy commissioner on Thursday.
