Shaheen Bagh Protest: Hundreds Of People Take Out Massive Anti-CAA Candle Light March

Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, which has been the epicentre of the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protest, saw a massive rally on Sunday evening as hundreds of people, including women and children, took out a march from Jamia Millia Islamia University gate to the venue.

The march was high on symbolism as some locals dressed up as Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar, while three men assumed the identity of martyred revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, one of them in prison clothes and tied in chains.

The protesters, chanting 'Azadi' and 'CAA-NCR Par Halla Bol', and other slogans also paraded a mock 'detention camp' portrayed with a cell on wheels inside of which sat little children of multiple faiths and changed slogans.
