The Calcutta High Court has refused to stay the BJP’s Parivartan Yatra in West Bengal.
Public interest litigation filed against Parivartan Yatra was heard on Tuesday in the Division Bench of Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice Anirudh Rai.
In the PIL, the Petitioner seeks an interim stay on the Parivartan Yatra till February 11 , while alleging that Yatra can worsen the Corona epidemic in Bengal and affect the law and order situation.
The bench refused to put an interim stay on the rally. The next hearing on the case will be held on 11 February.
Significantly, BJP national president JP Nadda started the Parivartan Yatra from Navdwip in Nadia district on February 06. On Tuesday, he flagged off two more Parivartan yatras from Tarapith and Jhadgram district in Virbhum district.
