TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday criticised the ongoing protests against the new citizenship law, saying it is “shameful” that the men sitting in the comfort of their homes have sent the women and children out on the streets to agitate.
Addressing a rally in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in Kanpur, Adityanath said, “These people do not have courage to participate in the protests themselves. They know if they indulge in vandalism, their property will be seized. Now what have they done?
“They started making the women sit at roads. The children have been made to sit. It’s such a big crime that the men are sleeping under the quilt and the women are made to sit at roads. It is shameful,” he said. At several places, including in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh and in Lucknow, women have been leading the protest against the law, alleging it is discriminatory and fearing it targets the Muslim community.
