KOLKATA: AIMIM supremo Asaduddin Owaisi s first rally in Kolkata, scheduled to be held on Thursday, has been cancelled as the city police denied permission for it, party sources claimed.
Owaisi was scheduled to kick off his party s campaign ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections with the rally in the minority-dominated Metiabruz area of the city.
AIMIM state secretary Zameerul Hasan said the police did not give them permission for the rally. We had applied 10 days back for permission. But today we were informed by the police that they will not permit us to hold the rally. We can t be cowed down by such tactics of the ruling TMC. We will discuss and soon announce a fresh date for a programme, Hasan said.
