Delhi Police have given permission for the rally, though with certain conditions. While the venue can accommodate over one lakh people, the permission is for only around 20,000 participants; the police, however, expect more than 30,000 people to attend. The AAP, on the other hand, claimed that the ground will be ‘fully packed.’
