New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will hold a ‘Mega Rally’ at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan today against the central government’s ordinance on deregulation of services in the national capital. Elaborate security arrangements have been made, and around 12 companies of paramilitary forces along with the local police force will be deployed at the venue.
According to the AAP spokesperson, around 1 lakh people are expected to attend the rally. Demanding the withdrawal of the ordinance, the AAP said the central government should reconsider its stand and give priority to the welfare of the people of Delhi.
दिल्ली की जनता के अधिकारों को छीनने वाले केंद्र सरकार के तानाशाही अध्यादेश के ख़िलाफ़ कल दिल्ली के लोग रामलीला मैदान में एकजुट होंगे। संविधान और लोकतंत्र को बचाने के लिए हो रही इस महारैली में आप भी ज़रूर आएँ।
