Nationwide Protests Underway Against CAA, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi Calls Maharashtra Bandh

Strikes and protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the National Population Register (NPR) are underway across the country.

Protests by women are ongoing in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh too and Friday is the 41st day of these protests. Some students and theatre artists performed a street play in Shaheen Bagh, offering tributes to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary, on Thursday. 

Protests by women on the lines of Shaheen Bagh against CAA, NRC and NPR are being organised in several cities in the country, including Lucknow, Aligarh, Bhopal, Darjeeling and Haldwani.

In Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh too, protests against CAA, NRC and NPR are underway. Some students protested against these three provisions at the Aligarh Muslim University on Thursday.

In Maharashtra too, strikes and protests are being held against CAA and NRC. The Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi has called a Maharashtra Bandh on Friday in protest against CAA and NRC.

Meanwhile, a resolution could be passed against CAA in the Rajasthan Assembly on Friday. If that happens, then after Kerala and Punjab, Rajasthan will become the third state to pass such a resolution.
