In her letter, written jointly with Delhi CPI (M) Secretary K M Tewari, she said “It is most unfortunate that some police personnel suffered injuries during the course of duty.”

The CPI (M) has demanded a time-bound “judicial inquiry/an impartial investigation” into the incidents, she said.

Karat said this letter was to appeal to you to take action against the police personnel who allowed the procession to carry weapons; who were responsible for the lack of adequate arrangements and who permitted the procession to stop in front of the mosque.

If senior officers of the range had ensured due diligence before giving permission for the procession, and if adequate police arrangements had been made, the incidents would not have taken place,” she said.
