Protesters gather at Shaheen Bagh to oppose the amended Citizenship Act, in New Delhi, Tuesday, December 31, 2019. PTIThe youth skipped parties and the elderly shun the comfort of watching TV at home on New Year's eve as thousands of people protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) rang in 2020 with singing the national anthem at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh. Several roamed around waving national flags while others displayed creative placards against the new law and chanted "Aazadi, Aazadi". It's for a bigger cause, it's to oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens." Shaheen Bagh, near Jamia Millia Islamia, has been a protest venue for a section of people opposed to the CAA and the NRC since December 15.
