Protest against construction of Haj House in Dwarka: Delhi Police register FIR

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police on Friday registered an FIR against several people, who were protesting against the construction of Haj House in Dwarka, for violating DDMA guidelines, officials said.
A senior police official said a case under appropriate sections of the law has been registered and further investigation is under way.
Addressing the protest in Dwarka's Sector 22, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta said there are many plots in Delhi belonging to the Waqf board and a Haj House can be built there.
He said there is a shortage of schools, colleges and hospitals in the city.
"The Haj House coming up in Sector 22 of Dwarka is totally against the wishes of the people," Gupta said.
The protest comes after the All Dwarka Residents' Federation wrote to Lt governor Anil Baijal urging him to cancel the land allotted for construction of the Haj House.
