Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy slammed the protesters of Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh on Monday, calling them a \u201cnuisance\u201d. Roy was at the Kolkata International Book Fair, when he made the comments on the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests of Shaheen Bagh, adding that the protesters were causing huge inconvenience to the people of Delhi and putting up a \u201cnautanki<\/em>\u201d (drama) for the last 50 days. He used the word \u201cdespicable\u201d to describe these protesters.<\/p>\n

Since December 15, 2019, hundreds of protesters, mostly women, are in a sit-in protest at Shaheen Bagh to protest the CAA and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC). They are demanding a repeal of the CAA.
\nOn Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said from an election rally in Delhi that there is a bigger political design behind the protests. He also said that if these are are not stopped now, then the protesters will block some other roads in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Recently, Union Minister of State Anurag Thakur came under fire for making inflammatory slogans at an election rally in Delhi. He had said, \u201cShoot the traitors of the country\u201d. After Thakur’s comment, another BJP MP Parvesh Verma had said, \u201cthe people of Shaheen Bagh will enter your houses, rape your sisters and daughters and kill them.\u201d
\nUttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath had accused Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal of feeding biryani to CAA-NRC protesters and said that the BJP government will feed them bullets. Twenty-five people have been killed in anti-CAA protests across the country in clashes with police, out of which 23 were from UP itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
