Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad today alleged that Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh protest is emerging as a textbook case of a few hundred people trying to suppress the silent majority.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Mr Prasad said that those trying to fragment India are getting cover at Shaheen Bagh protest where the tri-colours are being waived.
He said, the protest is offering platform to divisive forces under the garb of opposition to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Mr Prasad said, lakhs of people are distressed because they can not go to office, shops are shut and their children are not able to go to school due to road block by the protesters.
Meanwhile, AAP Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today alleged that the BJP does not want to open the Shaheen Bagh stretch of the Kalindi Kunj road where anti-CAA protests are going on for over a month.
He alleged that BJP is doing politics over it. He said, law and order in the national capital entirely lies with the Centre and if BJP is saying that they need permission from him, he is ready to give it.
