Multi-faith people join anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh

| @indiablooms | 13 Jan 2020, 06:37 am

New Delhi/IBNS: People belonging to multiple faiths turned up at Shaheen Bagh here on Sunday to join the ongoing protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, media reports said.

The people had also participated in "sarva dharma sambhava", which is a multi-faith prayer ceremony.

By afternoon on Sunday, the crowd increased from hundreds to thousands.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor had also joined the protest which has now completed a month.

Tharoor had tweeted, "Glimpses of today’s crowds at the three #CAA_NRC_Protests I addressed. Let there be no doubt, this is a people’s upsurge, going well beyond any political party. We should applaud the courage &determination of ordinary people without seeking to appropriate their movement. JaiHind!"

The country has been protesting against the CAA for a month now across the nation.

The Act, if implemented, will grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Parsi, Jain but not Muslim refugees who came to India from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan before 2015.

Despite widespread protests, the Union Home Ministry on Friday issued a notification of the Act effective from Jan 10.
