1/
Bengaluru has over 10 million people and one approved protest address.
Is the Constitution valid only in Freedom Park?
One park is not freedom.
2/
Democracy requires the right to assemble. Freedom requires the right to protest.
These rights belong in every neighbourhood—not only where police tell us to stand.
3/
A Bellandur lake protest belongs in Bellandur. A flyover protest belongs near the flyover. A school protest belongs near the school.
Place is part of the speech. Local issues need local protest.
4/
Ten people meeting peacefully in a public park are not a “public order” crisis.
“It is a protest” is a label, not a constitutional reason to shut it down.
5/
No prior permission. Citizens should give notice when an assembly needs traffic management or police protection.
If the State wants to restrict it, the State must go to a magistrate, show evidence and prove necessity.
6/
Traffic can be managed. Emergency access can be protected. Noise, time and numbers can be regulated.
None of that justifies turning every other park, street and square into a speech-free zone.
7/
If Bengaluru can confine protest to one park, must Mysuru protest there too? Must all of India protest only at Jantar Mantar?
The result is absurd because the premise is unconstitutional.
8/
The Constitution is not geographically rationed. It applies in every city, every state and every neighbourhood.
