Kolkata | Wednesday | 29th January, 2020

Summary:

Kolkata, Jan 29 (PTI) A sit-in agitation by 60 Muslim women at the Park Circus Maidan here, christened as 'Kolkata's Shaheen Bagh', entered its 23rd day on Wednesday with the protestors firm to carry on with their stir against the CAA indefinitely. Displaying no signs of fatigue, the women, ranging from housewives to profesionals, expressed their determination to hold their ground. Parveen Nazir, one of the 60 women and a homemaker, believes the biggest strength lies in the fact that the protestors are not associated with any political group. "Our only identity is that we are Indians, and we are women, who cannot be threatened by any force," she said. A policeman posted at the site said, people turn up in droves in the evening and songs and slogans rent the air..
