New Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh has been the epicentre of anti-CAA-NRC-NPR protests for over a month, and has invited divided opinions. On 6 February, the people of Shaheen Bagh organised Jashn-e-Ekta, to celebrate unity and solidarity.
The multi-faith ceremony saw participation of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian priests.
The women, who have been at the forefront of the protests, were at the forefront of the celebrations too – singing and chanting slogans.
Most protesters concurred that the ceremony was organised to create a sense of unity and solidarity among the people.
The protests at Shaheen Bagh have been going on for over 50 days, with protesters sitting on the streets 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
