Reservation Hatao stir draws massive crowd, several detained

In Delhi, a massive crowd turned up at the Jantar Mantar to the call for a protest by ‘Reservation Hatao Andolan’, a social media movement against quotas, prompting the police to detain several individuals on Friday as the agitation swelled despite permission given for it elsewhere — Ramlila Maidan. The protesters had been mobilised through social media for the demonstration, demanding that economic criteria be given greater weight than caste in determining eligibility for government support and reservation.

The Delhi Police detained several protesters who gathered at Jantar Mantar for an anti-reservation demonstration, as security was tightened around the protest site amid a heavy turnout. The protesters demanded that economic conditions be considered when deciding who should receive government support, including assistance for education, coaching and other needs.
Like the student protest backed by CJP, this protest too was started on Instagram. The campaign was spearheaded by "Reservation Hatao Andolan", an Instagram-based page that subsequently appealed to people to join a physical demonstration at Jantar Mantar on August 21. The page has 5.6 million followers on Instagram.
The Delhi Police said no permission had been granted for any protest, procession, demonstration or assembly at Jantar Mantar. However, an official communication from the office of the Central District DCP said a no-objection certificate (NOC) had been issued for a peaceful protest under the banner of "Reservation Hatao Andolan" at Ramlila Ground.
