Kar Purokayastha after the meeting said that the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere and the decision would be forwarded to the Calcutta High Court on Friday.
He told PTI, ‘I can’t divulge details about the outcome of the meeting before submitting them to the Court.’ The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday had directed the city police commissioner to sit with state BJP representatives and inform the court about the outcome.
The city police had allegedly not given permission for the rally, after which the BJP knocked on the high court’s door. The BJP alleged that though Trinamool Congress had been allowed to hold a meeting on the venue, Esplanade area of the city, on 21 July, the BJP was being denied permission.
BJP sources told a news agency that a seven-member delegation of the party held a 40-minute-long meeting with the police commissioner. ‘The police commissioner said the party needs to take permission from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation and the Fire Brigade for the rally. We said we are ready to comply with the requirement of permission from the Fire Brigade only, but permission from the KMC had never been required earlier for such a rally,’ the sources said.
