On the third day of the ongoing protest against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in Dehradun on Wednesday, senior advocate Razia Beig, one of those organising the protest, said that when the Central Government brought The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, the women of the Muslim community appreciated and accepted it but if any Act like the CAA is implemented here, everybody will turn against it.
According to Beig, “It is our third day here and our protest is increasing every day by reaching to more people. When the Modi led government brought the act regarding triple Talaq, we welcomed it but if any act as demeaning as CAA will be executed here, everyone will turn against it.
Behind this protest, our motive is not political but we will protest until the government withdraws this amendment. ”On Wednesday, few shopkeepers of Muslim community also kept their shops shut in protest against the CAA.
