'Azaadi' from CAA, NRC is protestors' war cry in Delhi

"Azaadi" (freedom) remained the war cry for thousands of anti-citizenship law protestors who continued their demonstration on Monday at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh and outside Jamia Millia Islamia.

In the evening, around 1,500 to 2,000 protestors were on the ground at each of the two sites which have been protest venues for more than three weeks now.

Local residents and students stayed put at both the venues, chanting slogans like "Azaadi", "Inquilab Zindabad" and poems of revolution, as they also condemned the attack on JNU students and teachers on Sunday by masked goons.

Among the thousands outside Jamia's gate no. 7 was Mohammad Shuaib, a physically-challenged student who had come from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.

"My sister studies here. I have come here to join the ongoing protests against the CAA and NRC," Shuaib told PTI
Asked if he found it difficult to join the protest because of his disability, the 23-year-old student said, "For us, this (the protest) is no less than India's fight for freedom in 1947. We'll continue our fight till the government does not realise its mistake."
