CAA: Bhim Army chief detained at Jama Masjid
December 20, 2019

Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad has been detained even as protesters led by him gathered near Jama Masjid in Delhi agitating against the amended Citizenship Act. The police has not given permission for the demonstration. 


Protesters carrying the tricolour and banners reading 'save Constitution' raised slogans against the new legislation. They assembled near gate number one of Jama Masjid as drones also kept a vigil on the large gathering which raised slogan 'Inquilab Zindabad' with some singing 'Saare Jahan Se Accha'. 


Some protesters were also carrying posters of Baba Saheb Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram and Bhagat Singh. The massive protest march led by Bhim Army, despite the police denying permission to it, comes a day after thousands of students, activists and opposition leaders hit the streets in the national capital defying security clampdown and prohibitory orders.  -- PTI
