The first day of the week showed no signs of the anti-CAA movement slowing down, as simultaneous acts of dissent against the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA)- National Register of Citizens (NRC)-National Population Register (NPR) were held at multiple locations across Mumbai.
On Monday, the first protests began outside the Bombay HC where a group of around 50 lawyers, including senior counsels Navroze Seervai, Mihir Desai, and Gayatri Singh recited the preamble of the Constitution. The lawyers said that the fact that CAA provides citizenship to refugees belonging to six religious communities — but not Muslims is 'constitutionally wrong' and that no one can divide the country on the basis of religion.
