While granting conditional permission, the SDM had put up 17 points before the Jain community. The 15th point stated that the permission is being granted only for anti-CAA event. The rest were concerning the "dos and don'ts" for the organisers as Section 144 was in force.
"Announcements were made in the locality since two-three days asking us to mobilise people to protest against the NRC. We were asked to gather on Tuesday," said a protestor speaking to India Today.
Narendra Modi government was correcting the historical wrong, said Amit Shah defending the CAA. He added that had the Congress not agreed to divide the country over religious lines, this situation would never have come.
