The Delhi Police on Saturday restricted entry to the H.K.S. Surjeet Bhawan in central Delhi on the second day of a seminar being organised by civil society groups to analyse the implications and outcome of the upcoming G-20 Summit. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) owns Surjeet Bhawan.
The police said the organisers of the seminar — We20-People’s Summit on G20 — had not taken permission for holding the event.
Reacting sharply, the CPI(M) called the police action an attempt to “suppress dissenting opinions being voiced”.
