AAP documentary screening in Delhi cancelled: Did not seek permission, say cops; ‘Dictatorship,’ says Arvind Kejriwal https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/aap-documentary-screening-delhi-cancelled-cops-dictatorship-arvind-kejriwal-9785652/ The Aam Aadmi Party had planned a media screening of a documentary on the ‘unprecedented assault’ on the party and its leaders.
“As elections have been declared, political parties have to apply for permission through single window system at DEO office (that is DM office). This is a standard process during elections. For the said event, no such permission was taken and hence it would have been a violation of guidelines. We urge all parties to follow the elections rules and regulations at this time,” an official statement from the Delhi Police said.
Kejriwal claimed at a press conference that no permission was required for a private screening. “Today, we had organised the screening of one of our films for the media… This was a private and not public screening but a lot of police force was pressed to stop the screening
