Amit Shah Asks Delhiites To Punish Protesters

Opposition plans to strengthen agitations; TUs to strike on January 8

As protests continued in various parts of Delhi against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Union Home Minister Amit Shah asked people of the State to “punish” the tukde tukde gang for the “violence” during the protests.

The Opposition, meanwhile, has decided to strengthen the protests by linking the ongoing agitations with the general strike called by all Opposition trade unions on January 8.

‘Opposition at play’

Talking at an official programme, Shah said the Opposition-led protests have turned violent and it has the support of Congress. “It is time to punish the tukde tukde gang, which is responsible for the violence in the streets of the national capital with the help of the Congress party. The people of Delhi should punish them,” Shah said. He said misinformation is being spread by the Opposition against the CAA. “When discussions on the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) were held in Parliament, no one was willing to say anything. After coming out, they started spreading misinformation and disrupted peace in Delhi,” he said.
