India: Aam Aadmi Party activists plan nationwide protests June 29
Aam Aadmi Party activists plan protests across India June 29. Increased security, transport disruption likely. Clashes possible.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will hold nationwide protests to denounce the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) alleged misuse of central investigation agencies and for the arrest of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. As of June 28, no information has been released on the timings and the location of the protests. Demonstrations will likely occur near government buildings, public venues, and sports centers. Participation will vary by locale, with urban centers like Delhi attracting thousands of participants.
Authorities will almost certainly monitor such gatherings and could use force to disperse unruly crowds. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between supporters of opposing political groups, cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are likely. Associated business disruptions are possible
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport and business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
