Shaheen Bagh protesters suspend march to Shah

February 16, 2020 15:49

Hundreds of women protesting against the citizenship law at Shaheen Bagh have stopped their march to Union home minister Amit Shah's house midway after being assured of a proper appointment with him.

The women had started the march around 2 pm, hoping for a dialogue with Shah on the citizenship law.

They did not have an appointment or the permission for a protest march from the police.

The police said they stopped the march and went back to their sit-in protest after they were told that their application for a meeting has been sent to the home minister.
