Shaheen Bagh protests

Occupying stretch of Delhi's Shaheen Bagh area, people have been protesting, undeterred by cold winters of national capital. However, frequented by politicians across party line, BJP has repeatedly accused contenders Congress and AAP of backing Shaheen Bagh protests.

BJP's Prakash Javadekar on Friday accused both AAP and Congress of creating an unnecessary fear psychosis in mirities over CAA. He reiterated, " CAA grants Citizenship to mirities of three neighboring countries who migrated to India after facing religious persecution and it way takes away citizenship of any Indian citizen." Furr, blamed Opposition of mixing and misleading over 'CAA, NRC and NPR.'   On Republic Day, anti-CAA protesters at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh unfurled National Flag, sang National Anm amid chants of "CAA se Azaadi, NRC se Azaadi, BJP se Azaadi (freedom from CAA, NRC and BJP)".
