‘Stand by Them 100%’: Bengaluru Youth React to Protesters’ Arrests

The Quint  

Much like the rest of the country, Bengaluru has seen countless protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act that was passed in December. As demonstrations led by students and activists gained momentum, two recent arrests have rocked Bengaluru’s protest circuit. While Amulya has been arrested and charged with sedition for raising ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at a public meeting last month, Ardra was arrested for holding a placard that read, ‘Dalit Liberation, Kashmiri Liberation and Trans Liberation’ etc. Ironically, Ardra was attending a protest condemning Amulya’s arrest when they were picked up. The arrests sent shockwaves through the city’s protest circuit, with many questioning the arrests.
