The Bombay High Court on Tuesday (12 August) recorded the Mumbai Police's decision to allow the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to hold a peaceful protest to condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
A division bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad accepted the statement made by the Mumbai Police that the protest would be held at Azad Maidan, a designated site for demonstrations in Mumbai.
Notably, this is the second time when the CPI(M) has knocked the doors of the High Court seeking permission to protest the genocide in Gaza as in its earlier round of litigation, the party was criticised by the bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad for not taking up issues that affect the citizens of India and instead focusing on fights taking place, thousands of miles away. In fact, the bench had asked the party to 'be patriots' underlining that merely speaking up for Gaza is not 'patriotism.'
