Coronavirus crisis: Anti-CAA protest in Nizamuddin called off, Shaheen Bagh protestors stay put

India TV News  

A citizenship law protest in Delhi’s Nizamuddin was on Sunday called off, in the wake of the rising cases of coronavirus across the country and Delhi’s government’s decision to put the city in lockdown earlier in the day. While shutters have come down on the protest at Nizamuddin, the demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act continues at Shaheen Bagh, which has inspired several protests across the nation. Repeated pleas by authorities to protest organisers at Shaheen Bagh have failed to move the protestors, despite health experts warning that site could be ticking bomb for the spread of the virus. In fact, news agency IANS reported on Saturday that one of the protestors at Shaheen Bagh had even tested positive for coronavirus.
