Earlier on Sunday, film actor Sushant Singh reached Jamia and Shaheen Bagh and took part in the protests there. Singh extended his support to the women protesters of Shaheen Bagh and said that his entire family stands in solidarity with them. Singh also read out a poem that read, ‘Stop protests, there is a traffic jam.’ On Sunday, Salman Khurshid, Congress leader, and former External Affairs Minister reached Jamia, and Udit Raj, Congress leader and former Member of Parliament reached Shaheen Bagh and participated in the anti-CAA protests.
