Khoj Khabar: Why Children Are Being Used As Pawns In The Name Of Anti-CAA Protests?

Khoj Khabar: For more than two now, hundreds of protestors, mainly women, have occupied the Kalindi Kunj-Shaheen Bagh stretch to voice their opposition against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Expressing concern at "viral videos" of children participating in protests against the CAA, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has already asked authorities to identify and arrange counselling for them.

The child rights body has urged the authority to issue necessary directions to the local administration and the police to identify children, shown in the viral videos, and "arrange a counselling session for them and their parents, if deemed fit".

On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused opposition parties of inciting communal riots over the CAA by spreading "misinformation" that Muslims will lose their citizenship because of the new law.

Tonight on Khoj Khabar with Deepak Chaursia, we will ask why children are being used as pawns in the name of anti-CAA protests?
