Earlier, on the occasion of Valentine’s Day on Friday, protesters from Shaheen Bagh wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi a Happy Valentine’s Day in a unique manner. Protesters gave a Valentine’s Day card to PM Modi, in which they wrote, “PM Modi, please come to Shaheen Bagh, take your gift and talk to us.” Meanwhile, people held a protest against the CAA and NRC at Chennai’s Washermanpet on Friday, during which clashes erupted between protesters and police and the police resorted to baton-charge on protesters.
