The environment of Nasirnagar was tense from Thursday.  827 police, two platoons of BGB, and one plantoon RAB, including plainclothes detectives were deployed there.
Chitta Ranjan Pal, additional superintendent of police (ASP) (Nabinagar circle), confirmed the news by saying the rally ended peacefully.
He said: “Large numbers  of law enforcement were deployed in Nasirnagar to avoid any unwanted incidents.”
Earlier on April 1, Qawami Olama Parishad called an Anti Ahmadiyya rally., Since permission was not given back then to hold the rally, a later date was fixed for April 20.
The Qawami Olama Parishad leaders said they would hold the rally in April at any cost. Later, to avoid violence, the home ministry allowed them two hours for the rally.
