New Delhi [India], Jan 17 (ANI): Locals in Seelampur on Friday gathered for namaz and women sat on 'dharna' against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
A sea of women along with their children staged 'dharna' and raised slogans against CAA.
Children and women were seen holding posters that read slogans like -- 'CAA-NRC ke khilaf aurato ka inquilab (Women's revolution against CAA)'.
Meanwhile, a group of women gathered at Shaheen Bagh to offer namaz earlier today where a protest against CAA is being held.
