Peacenik Mayawati
Against the backdrop of violent protests against the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati has emerged as a peacenik and has proposed her own version of non-violent non-cooperation. While firmly opposing the CAA and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) and expressing solidarity with the sentiments of the protesters, the Dalit czarina stressed that being “a disciplined party that espoused constitutional values” BSP workers would not hit the road against the CAA. Instead, she suggested, they would “peacefully” hand over a memorandum to their district administration to register their opposition to it.
