Writing for IANS, Zafar Abbas also said that the location of Burari ground, which is also called Nirankari Maidan, has prevented it from offering itself as a protst site over the years.

Those fighting for a cause feel that Jantar Mantar and Ramlila ground are better options if their voices are to be heard by the powers that be. Way back in 2011, Delhi Police had offered the

Burari ground, situated on the Delhi outskirts as we move towards Mukarba Chowk, as a protest site to social activist Anna Hazare for his proposed hunger strike. But it did not happen. Anna

later organised his sit-in at the Ramlila ground that lasted 12 days and witnessed swarms of supporters who rallied around for his cause.
