Jantar Mantar in Delhi is a designated protest site. So why are police restricting demonstrations there? Over the past week, opposition leaders, activists and members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) have protested against India's election chief, Gyanesh Kumar, demanding accountability. This explainer looks at the restrictions imposed by Delhi Police, the rules governing demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, and the constitutional right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly under Article 19. With the restrictions facing legal challenges, the debate raises a key question: where does the right to protest end, and the state's power to maintain public order begin?
