Razvi's remarks come days after he appealed to Muslim youth to stay away from a planned protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The protest, scheduled for October 10, was linked to demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
In his appeal, Razvi had maintained that demonstrations were a legal and democratic right but cautioned that protests turning violent could cause difficulties for the public. He had urged Muslim youth, particularly those living and working in Delhi and adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh, to avoid participating in the planned agitation. (ANI)
