The Congress had sought to mobilise around 50,000 students from Indore and neighbouring areas for the event. City Congress president Chintu Choukse had also warned of a protest if permission to use the stadium was denied.
‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ is a student-dialogue campaign launched by the Congress, through which the party has been organising programmes in cities across the country.
The campaign focuses on issues including alleged examination paper leaks, the rising cost of education, irregularities in government recruitment and unemployment, providing the Opposition party a platform to target the BJP on issues affecting students and young people.
Congress has already held ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programmes in Kota, Dehradun, Prayagraj and Pune over the past three months.
The Indore programme will now be held on September 19, with the Congress expected to announce the new venue after finalising arrangements.
