Bravery award winning child writes to CJI Bobde, seeks directive against kids' participation in anti-CAA protests
New Delhi/IBNS: Following the death of an infant at the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protests in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, a 12-year old bravery award winner named Zen Sadavarte wrote a letter to Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde seeking a directive against the participation of kids in anti-CAA agitations.
The Class 7 students in the letter wrote the incident was a violation of the deceased child's right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.
Mohammed Jahan, 4, had died during the uninterrupted anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh on Jan 30.
Zen further said the inclusion of children and infants in the protests amounts to "torture" and "cruelty".
Zen had received the award in 2019 for guiding 17 people to safety when a fire broke out at Parel’s Crystal Tower in Mumbai.
Several Muslim women and men are continuously protesting against the CAA at Shaheen Bagh for over a month now.
