'Delhi Police Said– Empty The Place, Or The Result Will Be Bad', Say CAA Protestors at Khureji

नागरिकता संशोधन क़ानून और एनआरसी के खिलाफ पूर्वी दिल्ली के खुरेजी में महिलाएं पिछले तीन दिनों से शांतिपूर्ण धरना-प्रदर्शन कर रही हैं. इन महिलाओं ने बताया कि मंगलवार रात करीब दो बजे दिल्ली पुलिस ने प्रदर्शनकारियों को वहां से हटाने की कोशिश की, उनके टेंट को उखाड़ दिया और उन्हें धमकाया. इसके बाद आसपास के स्थानीय लोग और महिलाओं के प्रतिरोध के बाद पुलिस वहां से चली गई. इन प्रदर्शनकारियों से संतोषी मरकाम की बातचीत.

Women have been staging a peaceful sit-in protest for the last three days in Khureji, East Delhi, against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the impending NRC. These women told The Wire that at around two o'clock on Tuesday night, Delhi Police tried to remove the protesters from there, uprooted their tent and threatened them. After some resistance from the locals, the police left. The Wire's Santoshi Markam is in conversation with the protesters of Khureji.
