04 June Ramlila ground was surrounded by criminal and communal elements - Delhi Police

The Supreme Court Monday was told that yoga guru Baba Ramdev
suffered the wrath of the central government during his gathering
at the Ramlila ground here in June as he raised his voice for the
recovery of black money deposited in tax havens abroad.
An apex court bench of Justice B.S. Chauhan and Justice Swatanter
Kumar was told that the "whole activity against Baba Ramdev was not
on the grounds of yoga but on account of his semi-spiritual
activity of fight against black money".
The court was told this during a hearing on the police action past
midnight June 4 evicting Ramdev and his followers. The court
questioned the police over the action in which Ramdev supporter Raj
Bala, 51, a resident of Haryana, was critically injured. She died
in Delhi after a 114-day hospitalisation.
Appearing for Ramdev, senior counsel Ram Jethmalani told the court
that the yoga guru was a revered personality not only for people
but also for prominent ministers in the government but suddenly
became a "criminal" after June 4.
As Jusdtice Swatanter Kumar inquired "whether any order was passed
to declare it (Ramdev's protest) an unlawful assembly", Jethmalani
said that orders under Section 144 of criminal procedure code were
passed at 11.30 p.m. which he described as "unlawful".
Describing the June 4-5 police action evicting Ramdev and his
followers from Ramlila ground as "criminal trespass", "assault" and
"criminal intimidation", Jethmalani said that it was a "disgrace to
Indian democracy that any government should act like this".
"Things like this used to happen in Nazi Germany,” he said.
He said that the “unpardonable misbehaviour of police” was targeted
at the constitutional right of freedom of speech of Ramdev.
The court was told that police had no right to use force and evict
the followers of yoga guru who were sleeping.
As Justice Chauhan drew the attention of Jethmalani to a photograph
showing a woman follower of Ramdev holding a lathi and attacking
police, the senior counsel said that “it is possible that one, two,
three hot heads might have thrown bricks at others but these
guardians of law (police) have been admittedly shown to be throwing
bricks at others.”
The senior counsel said that Ramlila ground belonged to the
Municipal Corporation of Delhi and it had given permission to
Ramdev to hold yoga camp and the organisers had made payment to the
civic body for the same. He said that police had no role in it.
Referring to a Delhi Police affidavit, Jethmalani said that police
assertion that the whole area around Ramlila ground was “surrounded
by criminal and communal elements was a slur on the Muslims”
largely living there.
The court would next hear the matter Nov 4.
