    Shaheen Bagh protestors feel they should not have to prove their Indian citizenship.
    But they want special privileges that ordinary citizens do not have, including the right to occupy public spaces and disrupt public activity for months on end.

    What principles do they represent?

    Allow them to continue their strike.
    They are doing for a CAUSE.
    CORONA is a SHOW-CAUSE

    They have chances to be listed their names in GUINNESS if they survived...

    which part of the word "social -distancing" did they NOT understand?
    How foolish can anyone be ,at such times?

    The people here, supporting it, will actually be at home safely maintaining all precautions.
    But will ask these to go there and protest in a public meeting.

    When every other public gathering has been stopped, why isnt this stopped?

    is this how we run a country?
    Is this the responsibility shown by these so-called freedom fighters?
    Is this how you help the country when stuck by a health emergency?

    Under the pandemic act Notification, they can actually be arrested for not following public order in times of national emergency.

    All the people who are supporting them, should know the law before commenting something stupid.
