Protestors at Jantar Mantar take to songs, poetry to register their opposition to CAA

An Indian version of Italian protest folk song 'Bella Ciao' was on the lips of agitators who converged at the Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Sunday with music and poetry to keep the "flames of protest" against the amended citizenship law burning.

"We feel people will get tired of protesting. As artistes, it our responsibility to not let this movement fizzle out. We have to keep it alive through words, poetry that echo in everyone's mind," Poojan Sahil, a school teacher, said.

Terming the amended Citizenship Act "communal", he said, "This legislation has to go."
