Shaheen Bagh residents stage massive protest against demolition drive
Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan, who joined the demonstration, told reporters that there are no illegal structures in the area.
A massive protest erupted in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh on Monday ahead of a demolition drive planned by the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled South Delhi Municipal Corporation, reported PTI. The Muslim-dominated neighbourhood was among the sites in the national capital where protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act were held in 2019 and 2020.
Protestors shouted slogans against the civic body and the central government, demanding to stop the demolition drive. The exercise was soon halted amid the protest, reported NDTV.
