Muslim Bodies To Take Out Anti-CAA March In Chennai

Protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) are underway across the country for the past two months.

Muslim organisations have called a massive march against CAA, NRC and NPR in Tamil Nadu’s capital Chennai on Wednesday. Earlier, a petition filed in the Madras High Court to stay the march was dismissed on Tuesday.

Protests against CAA, NRC and NPR on the lines of Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh continue in Chennai’s Washermanpet for the sixth day today.

Ongoing protests against CAA, NRC and NPR at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh enters 67th day on Wednesday. Protesters say that they will not budge from the spot till the CAA is abrogated.

Meanwhile, the three interlocutors appointed by the Supreme Court could meet protesters at Shaheen Bagh on Wednesday. The Supreme Court had appointed a mediation panel comprising senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, former CIC Wajahat Habibullah and advocate Sadhna Ramachandran for dialogue with Shaheen Bagh protesters on Monday.
