New Delhi:

There were tears and defiance too as the women of Shaheen Bagh poured their hearts out to the two Supreme Court appointed interlocutors on Wednesday, the first attempt to reach out to those sitting in protest against the anti-citizenship amendment legislation for more than two months.

Advocates Sanjay Hegde and Sadhana Ramachandran as well as former bureaucrat Wajahat Habibullah went to Shaheen Bagh, the epicentre of the anti-CAA protests, to speak to the women and attempt to find a way out of the impasse. Many said they would clear the protest site only after the CAA, NRC and NPR were removed. 

"The Supreme Court has upheld your right to protest. But then other citizens also have their rights and that should also be maintained," Ramachandran told the crowd assembled at the spot in south Delhi in large numbers.

Tonight, on Khoj Khabar, we are discussing whether the Supreme Court-appointed interlocutors will succeed in convincing Shaheen Bagh protesters or not.
