Delhi:As the anti-CAA protest at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh entered its 71st day on Sunday, several speakers heaped praises on the protesters for their perseverance, while expressing hope that the Supreme Court will "listen to their voice" during a hearing on Monday.
Some protesters, however, expressed apprehension over the government's intention, asserting that such protests should come up in each corner of the country.
The apex court will be responding to the affidavit filed by former Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah, who has been asked by the yop court to assist interlocutors during mediation with Shaheen Bagh protesters, on Sunday.
Habibullah, in his affidavit, said that the anti-CAA protests are peaceful, and even raised the issue of road blockade by the Delhi Police at five points in the area.
Meanwhile, it was business as usual at Shaheen Bagh, with several speakers coming, delivering endless speeches, as the crowd cheered them on every time something interesting was said.
One speaker Jamal Khan, who came from Faridabad to extend support to the cause, started his speech with 'Jai Hind', and spoke about freedom fighters Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah who gave their lives for the freedom of the nation.
"Hum desh bachane nikle hain aau hamare saath chalen," (We have come out to save our country, come with us,) he said, to the loud cheers of some women who stood and said, "Inquilab Zindabad".
