Police today confirmed receiving a notice by organisers of the planned 'Say No to Zakir Naik, Equal Rights to Indians & Other Races' rally, but say that the notice was incomplete and did not meet legal requirements.
"As such, the public is advised not to participate in this gathering to ensure the comfort and well-being of locals," acting Brickfields police chief Arifai Tarawe said in a statement. The notice was pursuant to Section 9 of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 signifying the intention of holding the rally at 2pm on Aug 24, 2019, at the Water Fountain in Little India, Brickfields.
Arifai also advised against attending another rally on the evening of Aug 23, to protest the introduction of Jawi lessons in Tamil schools, as its notice was similarly incomplete. Indira Gandhi Action Team president Arun Doraisamy confirmed that M Indira Gandhi – who has become a focal point for protests against unilateral conversions – had been asked to speak at the Saturday rally.
