Background: THREE LARGE PROCESSIONS MARCHED THROUGH THE STREETS OF BOMBAY, INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL CENTRE OF INDIA, ON OCTOBER 29 TO MEET AT THE CHOWPATHI BEACH TO CONDEMN THE CHINESE AGGRESSION ON THE INDIAN BORDER.

THE MEETINGS WERE CALLED ON THE NEW YEAR DAY (SAMVAT YEAR 2019) BY THE CHIEF MINISTER OF BOMBAY MR. Y.B. CHAVAN WHO WAS WITH ONE OF THE PROCESSIONS.

THERE WERE COMMOTIONS BOTH DURING THE PROCESSION AND AT THE MASS MEETING WHEN THE PEOPLE FOUND SOME COMMUNISTS AMONG THEM.

THE MEETING AT CHOWPATHI BEACH (WHERE MANY HISTORIC MEETINGS HAVE BEEN HELD IN PRE-INDEPENDENCE DAYS) WAS ADDRESSED BY MR. CHAVAN AND MR. ASHOK METHA, LEADER OF THE PRAJA SOCIALIST PARTY, AMONG OTHERS.

THE ENTIRE CROWD TOOK PLEDGES TO "PRESERVE FREEDOM AT ANY COST" AND "TO END CHINESE AGGRESSION".

MANY SIMILAR MEETINGS WERE HELD THROUGHOUT THE MAHARASTRA STATE ON THE DAY.
