March to Delhi full story
Answers
Answer:
The Shaheen Bagh protest was a sit-inpeaceful protest, led by women, that began in response to the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in both houses of Parliament on 11 December 2019 and the ensuing police intervention against students at Jamia Millia Islamia who were opposing the Amendment.[6][7][8] Protesters agitated not only against the citizenship issues of the CAA, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR), but also against police brutality, unemployment, poverty and for women's safety.[9] Mainly consisting of Muslim women, the protesters at Shaheen Bagh, since 14 December 2019,[10]blocked a road[d] in New Delhi using non-violent resistance for 101 days as of 24 March 2020.[1][11] It became the longest protest against CAA-NRC-NPR.[12] As a precautionary measure Delhi Policebarricaded the neighbouring major highways around the area. Following the North East Delhi riots, police barricading and presence in the area increased with over ten companies, 1000 personnel, being assigned to Shaheen Bagh.[13] The protests ended on 24 March 2020 as Delhi Police vacated the site due to coronavirus pandemic.[14]The leaderless protest became politicized and is generally against the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) government.[11] The protesters also supported unions opposing the government's anti-labour policies and protested against recent happenings such as the 2020 JNU Attack, and showed solidarity with Kashmiri Pandits.[15][16] The barricaded and tented venue drew large crowds; The Wire noted that tens of thousands of protesters have participated.[17] The Shaheen Bagh protest has inspired similar Shaheen Bagh-styleprotests across the country, such as in Gaya, Kolkata, Prayagraj, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
The blockade became a campaigning issue in the 2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections. Some politicians promised to immediately remove the blockade after being voted into power, and were accused by their opponents of prolonging the demonstration to agitate voters. The blocked road affects more than 100,000 vehicles a day, adding hours to some journeys. As the area is also a border point into the capital, thousands of trucks are being diverted to other border points.
Five petitions have been filed to stop the blockade. The Delhi High Court refused to hear the first two pleas and on 14 January 2020 declared the blockade to be a police matter. The Delhi Police have said that they will not use force to end the blockade. A third petition highlighted the difficulty faced by students with upcoming board examinations. The matter also reached the Supreme Court of India with two pleas being filed. Following the initial hearings, on 17 February the Supreme Court appointed three mediators to initiate conversations with the protesters regarding shifting to a location which doesn't block a public place. As of 5 March 2020 the second round of talks with the interlocutors is underway and the next hearing is on 23 March.
Even after the spread of the coronavirus in India, including additional restrictions enforced by the government under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897, which includes a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people and the closure of schools, colleges, cinema halls and weekly markets among other things, the Shaheen Bagh protest still continued for several days. As a precautionary measure the protesters planned a more "controlled gathering" by reducing the number of protesters to just 5 individuals and symbolically placing cots and sandals by other protesters in solidarity.[18][4] However, following the complete lockdown imposed in Delhi from 23 to 31 March 2020,[5] the protesters were arrested and forcefully removed from the site by the Delhi Police on 24 March 2020.[1]
Answer:
The 2020 Delhi riots, or North East Delhi riots, were multiple waves of bloodshed, property destruction, and rioting in North East Delhi, beginning on 23 February and caused chiefly by Hindu mobs attacking Muslims.Of the 53 people killed, two-thirds were Muslims who were shot, slashed with repeated blows or set on fire.The dead also included a policeman, an intelligence officer and over a dozen Hindus, who were shot or assaulted.More than a week after the violence had ended, hundreds of wounded were languishing in inadequately staffed medical facilities and corpses were being found in open drains. By mid-March many Muslims had remained missing.
