Youth Cong leaders confront cops after being denied permission to welcome Rahul at Mysuru Airport
Mysuru: A clash of words erupted between Mohammed Haris Nalapad, the leader of Karnataka Youth Congress, and local police officials following the denial of permission by Mysuru ASP BN Nandini for Youth Congress members to welcome Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the city airport on Wednesday. Rahul Gandhi's visit was in connection with the launch of the 'Gruha Lakshmi' scheme initiated by the state government.
Anticipating Rahul Gandhi's arrival, members of the Youth Congress, under the leadership of Nalapad, had gathered at the entrance of the Mysuru Airport with the intention of extending a warm welcome to the Congress leader. Additionally, they had organized themselves along the route leading to the Maharaja College Grounds, where Rahul Gandhi was slated to inaugurate the 'Gruha Lakshmi' scheme.
However, when Nalapad approached ASP Nandini to seek permission for the welcome event, he was met with a refusal. This refusal ignited a confrontation between Nalapad and the police officials, with heated exchanges taking place for a period of time. ASP Nandini stood her ground, citing the need to consult higher-ranking officers before granting permission for the Youth Congress members to carry out the welcome activities for Rahul Gandhi.
