HC grants conditional nod to Trinamool for July 21 Martyrs' Day rally, caps gathering at 2,500
The Calcutta High Court allowed Trinamool's Martyrs' Day rally with a reduced crowd size. The court also stipulated a specific time frame for the commemoration event. Meanwhile, a dissident Trinamool faction received permission for their own rally nearby. Loyalist MLA Madan Mitra resigned from party posts and joined the dissidents. Mitra cited fear of Abhishek Banerjee over the Enforcement Directorate summons.
