19 Dec 2019 Evaluate

Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Chief Minister, has appealed to the central government to take back the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and ensure that employment should be given to the youth amid the protests against the legislation. Kejriwal told ‘Today, the law and order situation in the country is deteriorating. There is a fear among all citizens today. I appeal to the central government to take back the law but give employment to the youth’.

Meanwhile, telecom operators earlier today halted Internet and SMS services in parts of Delhi following an order received from the Delhi Police in view of the anti-citizenship law demonstrations being held in various locations. SMS and Internet services have been affected for few hours in parts of Old Delhi, Mandi House, Seelampur, Jafrabad, Mustafabad, Jamia Nagar, Shaheen Bagh and Bawana, in view of prevailing law and order situation.

The CAA seeks to grant Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
