Jignesh Mevani

Angry protests erupted and anti-government slogans were raised here on Thursday as the police abruptly refused permission for a convention to be attended by Gujarat Dalit legislator Jignesh Mevani and JNU student leader Umar Khalid. Confirming the development, a Mumbai police spokesperson said that the permission has been denied for the Chhatra Bharati's All India National Students Summit scheduled in Vile Parle, but declined to assign any reasons.
