The Kayastha Pathshala Trust has allowed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s student interaction in Prayagraj on August 8, a day after cancelling permission. Acting trust president Jitendra Nath Chaudhary said the approval depends on protecting academic activities and securing the district magistrate’s permission. The trust had cited an Allahabad High Court order restricting the KP College ground to sports and educational uses, along with rain-related waterlogging. Gandhi had accused the administration of blocking the programme because it feared students’ voices. Congress said it had obtained permission on July 30 and maintained that the event was not a political rally. Gandhi is scheduled to reach Prayagraj at 3.15 pm, visit Anand Bhavan and attend the dialogue at KP Ground later in the day.
