Nagpur: A group of around 50 youths belonging to Nagpur Youth Organization (NYO) assembled at Samvidhan Square (RBI Square) on Saturday and staged protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The group, comprising mostly graduates and students, raised “Azadi” slogans to mark the peaceful protest. Banners displaying ‘Save Constitution, defend humanity’, ‘secularism above all’, ‘give people every right, you claim for yourself’ were seen during the protest.
The agitators also chanted “Awaz do… hum ek hai”, and sang “Sare jahan se accha Hindustan hamara” and various poems and songs expressing India’s unity in diversity.
Speaking to Nagpur Today, Yashas Mahajan, President, NYO, said that this is the first ever protest conducted by the organization. Their motive is to provide a platform to the youth who are willing to express their anguish against the discriminatory Act.
The event was supported by Lawyers and Civil society members.
