Anti-CAA protests continue in Indian cities

New Delhi: Peaceful but robust demonstrations, marches and dharnas against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the National Population Register (NPR) continued in several parts of the country on Saturday, making it the 38th consecutive day of protest since the Rajya Sabha passed the controversial Act.

In Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, women who have been sitting in protest refused to vacate the road 13-A (which links Delhi with Haryana and UP) despite requests from Delhi Police. The women who have been protesting since December 15 against the CAA, and the proposed nationwide NRC following police’s attack on Jamia Milia Islamia students, however, told the police that they will make space for traffic to avoid inconvenience to people.
