Scores of Hindu migrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan gathered outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on Thursday to protest his remarks on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The protestors, carrying placards and raising slogans, demanded an apology from Kejriwal for his statement which they deemed as “wrong and against the Hindu community.”
Thousands of Hindu and Sikh refugees from Pakistan and Afghanistan reside in the national capital, and with the recent comments made by Kejriwal, tensions have escalated. The protestors were met with barricades as they did not have permission to protest in the area near the CM’s house.
Earlier, Kejriwal had expressed his opposition to the CAA during a press conference, mentioning his concerns about the law being used for political gains in the upcoming elections. Union Minister Anurag Thakur and other BJP leaders have criticized Kejriwal’s statement, accusing him of lying.
The protests by the Hindu and Sikh refugees signify a possible escalation in political discussions and debates surrounding the CAA in the coming days. The situation remains tense as both sides stand firm on their positions.
