CAA Protest: Shaheen Bagh 24x7, one month and counting

New Delhi: Every night, a few thousand people gather at the heart of South Delhi district to protest against an act of government, which they feel will do more harm than good.

Among other issues, they see the new citizenship law as violative of the Fundamental Rights of Equality, Life, and Liberty, as mentioned in the Constitution. And they have been doing this for over a month now, braving one of the coldest winters the national capital has witnessed in many years.

The protest at Shaheen Bagh began with the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in December last year and the ensuing police intervention against students at Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University on December 15. Growing in size by the day, it has now become the longest ongoing protest against CAA-NRC-NPR, triggering similar movements in different parts of the country, from Kolkata to Prayagraj to Bhopal and Pune and more.
