The Story in Brief
The Kayastha Pathshala Trust has restored permission for Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ interaction at KP Ground, Prayagraj, on August 8, subject to conditions. Organisers must ensure academic activities are not disrupted and obtain clearance from the district magistrate, the trust’s acting president Jitendra Nath Chaudhary told PTI, as reported by Telangana Today.
The trust had cancelled permission a day earlier, citing an Allahabad High Court order restricting use of the ground to sports and educational activities, as well as waterlogging after rain. Congress leaders had accused the Uttar Pradesh government of pressuring the venue provider. The party says the event will proceed, with Gandhi scheduled to attend from 6 pm to 8.30 pm.
The Indian Opinion
The claims that the government is simply silencing students, or that the Congress can hold the meeting without administrative clearance, are both premature. Permission now exists, but it carries clear conditions tied to the court order and college activities. The useful test is straightforward: whether the district magistrate grants clearance and whether the organisers keep teaching uninterrupted on August 8.
