Women are fighting for their children's rights — to live in a country without hatred, says former IAS officer Kannan Gopinathan, who visited Mumbai Bagh on Tuesday night, where hundreds of women have been involved in a sit-in protest against the CAA-NRC-NPR since January 26. Excerpts from an interview:

Is the protest model being applied to all protest sites?
It is like this across the country; women, at various locations, have started indefinite sit-in protests against the CAA-NRC-NPR. They are fighting for their children's rights — to live in the country without hatred. These women are fighting against the way the central government is making the issue communal. When a mother fights for her children, there can only be one winner — the mother. No Narendra Modi or government can deter this movement.
