In Delhi, students from Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students' Association (BAPSA) held a solidarity demonstration at Odisha Bhawan calling for an end to Dalit Bahujan and Adivasi suppression by Vedanta at Niyamgiri, and punishment of their attackers, as well as an Indian and international ban on Vedanta. The group was rounded up police and continued their demonstration at the police station(9). BAPSA activist Chinmaya Mahanand said:

“Police have unlawfully detained us and tried to ban our protest at Odisha Bhawan. Whether in Delhi or Odisha the State is colluding with Vedanta to prevent any objection to its crimes. We demand that the land losers of Niyamgiri are rehabilitated with equivalent land, and that goondas responsible for atrocities against them are arrested and punished according to law.”
