BJP president Amit Shah last week said he would 'give time within three days' to those wanting to discuss the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) issue with him. Taking a cue, on Monday evening, Mumbai BJP vice president Haji Hyder Azam wrote to the protesters of Mumbai Bagh requesting an audience with them to 'understand their issues' so that 'a solution can be found.'

Last Sunday, protesters at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi marched towards Shah's residence — an act of taking him up on his word of being open to discussing the CAA issue. However, they were stopped by police citing security reasons.
