Several eminent personalities were seen in the protest including General Secretary CPI (M) Sitaram Yechury, CPI National Secretary D Raja, JD (U) leader K C Tyagi and an activist Kavita Krishnan.

"I don't want to be tagged as a nationalist because I represent a crowd of faceless and voiceless people. My nationalism and patriotism is my own view. Inside parliament, we will raise our voice but the fight is in collaboration inside and out," said D Raja. Along the entire stretch between Mandi House and Parliament Street, the protesters scribbled messages and verses of resistance with coloured chalks.
