Over 500 members of different Hindu organisations held protests at the Leisure Valley Park where a private company had organised a musical show on Saturday.
The protesters claimed it was wrong for the company to organise a musical show for enjoyment and raising funds when the entire country was mourning the death of 40 CRPF troopers, killed in a terror attack in Pulwama on Thursday.
Protesters threatened to disrupt the event if the organisers did not cancel the programme. “We have written to the Police Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram to initiate the process of cancelling the event. Musical shows are meant for celebration, not when there is sadness across the country. This is not acceptable,” said Bharat Tibet Sahyog Manch convener Pramod Goyal.
Subhash Bokan, PRO of Gurugram police, said, “We are aware of the protest and have deployed extra security personnel at the venue to maintain law and order and prevent loss of property. We are waiting for organisers to take a decision.”
