New Delhi: Many women staged a sit-in against the Citizenship Amendment Act with their little daughters at the Jamia Millia campus gate on Sunday. Many of these women were Jamia alumni.
The protesters reached Jamia's gate number 7 on Sunday morning before other protesters. Ayesha, a former Jamia student, said she brought her 9-year-old daughter Rehana along with her so that Rehana could become courageous and be aware about such serious issues.
Almost all the women were accompanied by little children aged between 3 to 10 years. Another woman, Sofia, said she was there with her two daughters, aged 3 and 6 years.
While women continued to shout slogans against the CAA, their daughters held anti-CAA and NRC posters.
The protesters continued their sit-in for about 3 hours.
Many alumnae of the Jamia Eye University had held the Tricolour. They said India is as much their country as for any other common Indian.
A large number of students and local people also gathered again outside the Jamia campus on Sunday.
