Jantar Mantar protest: motive seems to disrupt Parliament Monsoon session, not students' issues: Malhotra

New Delhi, Jul 19 (UNI) Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra on Sunday claimed that the appearance of senior and highly paid lawyers, to the likes of Kapil Sibal and Vivek Tankha, before the Delhi High Court seeking interim relief in the Sonam Wangchuk matter, makes it evident that he was not protesting as an activist, but as a tool of the opposition.
Malhotra said that the action taken by the Delhi Police to remove Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar was carried out in accordance with the directions of the Delhi High Court, and it was perhaps for the same reason that the court declined to grant any interim relief on the petition filed on behalf of Wangchuk.
Referring to the protest over the alleged NEET paper leak, the Delhi BJP chief said that Wangchuk had joined the protest on June 28, a demonstration sponsored by the Aam Aadmi Party, the Communist parties, and the Congress, even though the satisfactory re-examination of NEET had already been held on June 21, Malhotra added.
