MUMBAI: The Mumbai police faced flak from the All India Professional Congress (AIPC) for denying permission for a book launch and interaction with student leader Kanhaiya
Kumar in the city Saturday.
Later in the evening, the authorities granted permission for the programme.
The AIPC is affiliated to the Congress party.
Sanjay Jha, AIPC Maharashtra unit chief, tweeted an image of suburban Bandra police's order denying permission on Friday.
The order cited "law and order issues" as the reason for disallowing the event to be held in a college in Bandra area.
"So we are not being given permission for holding the book launch and interaction with Kanhaiya Kumar on (the topic) "Bihar to Tihar" by Mumbai police. Shocking! law and order problems, really?" Jha asked on Twitter.
However, later the AIPC said the permission has been granted, which was confirmed by deputy police commissioner Paramjit Singh Dahiya.
