PUTRAJAYA: The Home Ministry has urged the public not to hold any gatherings in public places during the official visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the weekend.
The ministry said the police, as the agency responsible for coordinating security preparations for the visit, would meet the organisers of a rally scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur today.
“The police will meet the organisers and request their cooperation in not proceeding with the planned gathering,” it said, Bernama reported.
According to the ministry, the police is responsible in ensuring no untoward incident that could cause unrest and disrupt public order during the visit, which reflects the strong diplomatic ties and mutual respect between the two countries.
“The ministry, through the police, will continue to carry out its duties in a professional and firm manner to ensure public safety and national stability,” the statement said.
At the same time, a rally related to encroachment and the construction of illegal places of worship is scheduled to be held in the city, and is reportedly expected to involve 141 non-governmental organisations.
