Delhi Violence took lives of around 35 people and several were injured. However, people around the country are still protesting against the CAA. In one such incident, a Communist Party of India members attempting to burn an effigy of Home Minister Amit Shah in Hyderabad and demanding his resignation over the violence in Delhi were detained by the police.
A video of the incident showed the police attempting to subdue and drag the protesters away.
On Thursday, Congress delegation met President Ramnath Kovind and demanded resignation of Amit Shah. Even other political party leaders have sought an appointment with President over the Delhi issue.
Holding a press conference with Raja, Yechury had claimed that the violence had been sanctioned by the police and that of the “powers that govern them”. The two leaders had also questioned Shah’s role in dealing with the situation.
“If NSA is supposed to be in charge of Delhi Police, then what is the role of Home Minister? Has the government conceded that Home Minister Amit Shah is incapable of handling Delhi violence,” they had asked.
