BAREILLY: Over 100 women, who have been protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens in Sambhal, continued their sit-in on Saturday as well.
Terming CAA and NRC “undemocratic” and “anti-Muslim”, the women protesting at Pakka Bag Kheda in Nakhasa area raised slogans such as “hum leke rahenge azadi, CAA se azadi”, “RSS se azadi”, “Gandhi wali azadi”, demanding rollback of the law.

Local MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq, who visited the protesters, said that they would hoist the tricolour on Republic Day.
Extending his support to the women, Barq said, “The government wants to make Muslims second class citizens.” The SP leader said his party would raise the matter in Parliament.
On Saturday, women members of local MLA Iqbal Mahmood’s family joined the dharna.
Since the sit-in began, local intelligence unit and police department have been keeping a close tab on the protesters and people supporting them.
Barq said the sit-in would continue until the Centre withdraws CAA.
