Women raise anti-CAA slogans during Shah's door-to-door campaign

A woman and her flatmate reportedly raised anti-CAA slogans and also put up a poster against the Act outside their home, while Union Home Minister Amit Shah was in the locality for the BJP's door-to-door campaign on the contentious Act.

New Delhi:Union Home Minister and BJP president Amit Shah was in for a rather unpleasant surprise while leading the party's door-to-door 10-day pro-CAA campaign in the national capital on Sunday, as two women hung a poster outside their home opposing the act and also reportedly raised anti-CAA and NRC slogans.

In order to spread awareness about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, Shah visited homes in Lajpat Nagar and talked to people about the benefits of the amended citizenship law. He also distributed literature on the subject and urged them to go through it.

It was then that a woman along with her flatmate were seen with a massive anti-CAA poster hung outside their apartment on the third floor of a building.

According to reports, the woman also raised 'Go Back' and anti-CAA-NRC slogans.

Videos of the incident have now gone viral on social media.

According to reports, a mob later gathered outside the women's home, and raised counter slogans and pulled down the poster.

Meanwhile, the police is reportedly investigating into the matter.

Top BJP leaders have been reaching out to people across the country, amid a wave of protests against the contentious law since it was passed in December.

During his visits to several houses in an area with a significant population of refugees who had arrived in India after Partition, he was seen urging people to take out their mobile phones to give a missed call to a toll-free number the BJP has launched for the masses to register their support to the law.

"Your support to the law has now reached Modi ji," he told members of a family after they dialled the number.

The BJP has launched a ''Jan Jagran'' (public awareness) campaign to contact three crore families to counter the opposition's campaign against the CAA and inform the masses about its features.
