Shaheen Bagh protesters begin march towards Home Minister's house to discuss CAA

However, the Home Ministry sources had said yesterday that no such meeting was scheduled.

The police today said permission had not been granted for the march and police personnel are standing 500m away in riot gear, media reports said.

On Thursday, Shah had said at the Times Now Summit that anyone who had doubts over the CAA could seek an appointment from his office and he would be willing to meet them within the next three days, 

Senior officials of the Delhi Police had asked the protesters to send their delegation for a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah, but they rejected the proposal.

We will march to Amit Shah's house along with everyone here. We will speak in front of everyone. We will ask him to give in writing that NRC and CAA will be taken back," a protester told NDTV. 

Shaheen Bagh, a southernmost colony of the Okhla area in the national capital has become synonymous to the CAA resistance. The women here have been sitting on a dharna for nearly past two months. The demonstration started with the household women gathering together to express solidarity with the Jamia Millia Islamia students followed by violence in the campus premises during an anti-CAA protest on December 15.

Since then a number of Shaheen Bagh-like protests have erupted in the country in Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai, Karnataka and recently in Tamil Nadu.
Meanwhile, the Apex Court in its Feb 10 hearing over the issue said that protesters cannot block the public road and create inconvenience for others and extended the matter for Feb 17, Monday.
