Was the manner of protest justified, PM Modi asks UP youth on CAA protests

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday condemned widespread violence and arson during the recent anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests in Uttar Pradesh.

Addressing a gathering after unveiling a 25 foot bronze statue of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee at Lok Bhawan here, Modi exhorted the people and youth of the state indulging in such violence to ask themselves if their manner of protest was justified.

“We cannot fathom the misery and angst being faced by the families of those killed in the violence, including the kin of the policemen,” he observed.

Modi advised people to shun false rumours being spread on the issue,
