He further stated that Hindu Jagran Manch plans to conduct both armed and non-armed rallies during Ram Navami. “There will be rallies with arms and non-armed rallies. As per law, rallies which happened before 2018 will continue. If it is an old one, we don’t have to ask for permission, an intimation will be given. It is our fundamental right, so there isn’t any question of permission,” said Debashish Chakrabarty.
“In 2018, the administration gave us a clear verdict that old rallies will continue,” added Debashish Chakraborty.
According to Debashish Chakraborty, the Hindu Jagran Manch will also take out the tableaus of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir’s under-construction sculptures in various districts of Bengal.
“In various districts like Chandannagar and Barasat, where we will take out a tableau of the Ram Mandir, which is under construction,” said Debashish Chakrabarty.
