Summary:
Mishra can be seen talking to his supporters as DCP (North East) Ved Prakash Surya stood beside him without acting. He also tweeted on Monday saying that the rioting was being done by anti-CAA protesters and only on Monday evening did he post an appeal, calling for people to show restraint and maintain peace. Several people living in Kardampuri and Maujpur area said that stone pelting was mostly observed by groups of what seemed like CAA supporters. He said, "we could see police lobbing tear gas shells from the same side where the CAA supporters were pelting stones from." During his campaign for the assembly election in 2020, Mishra had also been barred from campaigning by the Election Commission of India for essentially branding all anti-CAA protesters as Pakistanis..
