CAB: The vein of agitation paralyzes the capital and other major states!

The Controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill has become the crater of the stirs and unrest that have been rooting across the country amidst collapsing the grounds of the Northeastern states. The bill, that had now enacted into the law, has been under the limelight since Home Minister Amit Shah proposed in the Parliament and while having the comfortable passage in both chambers despite the ruckus and uproar, it had incited a huge outcry and dismay from the Northeastern states, particularly Assam that spurred the protests to oppose the bill which violates their rights and the fundamental rights of the Indian constitution.

Last week, the heated bill unfolded the anxiety and unrest across the northeastern states that have been showing no way and no grounds to lower its voices although the Center had deployed more Central Reserve Police Force and Paramilitary forces from Kashmir to Assam and imposed the curfew and restrictions. Most of the areas have been brought under the drones of restrictions and internet services were suspended after the agitators reportedly quaked the peaceful land through the baton of fire that had seemingly torched across the nation resulting into the enhancement of the unrest and the veins of agitations that have been paralyzing the nation's capital and the major states for the past few days.

On December 13th, the students of Jamia Milia Islamia University of Delhi, who lamped the early stages of protests, were allegedly stopped by the city's police after they attempted to march towards the parliament against the bill and their rally had carpeted huge protests two days later where the students had burnt at least four buses and four motorcycles in Jamia Nagar, Delhi during which about 50 people, including police, were injured and with the view of preventing the riots, the police department had arrested fifty students who were later let to walk free.

The reports say that the violence had lasted for an hour where the police had fired 50 rounds of teargas and lathi-charged the protestors to diminish the unrest and during the retaliation, one of the protestors got injured after the bullet shot the leg despite the police claimed that they didn't open the fire. The violent clashes in Jamia had let hundreds of students from JNU and Jamia university to host the protests at the Delhi police headquarters and raised slogans against the police and the developments have been aberrantly revealing that the unrest may soar high and would pass on across the nation.

Similarly, on Monday, the protests and the turmoil in the state of West Bengal hit the fourth consecutive day as the state has been left with an unprecedented and unpleasant rise of the agitations with the most of the roads and rails have been blocked in various parts. It has been reported that the protestors have barricaded the pavements in East Midnapore and Murshidabad districts and the severity of the unrest had led to suspend and to delay the services of several trains and the government had barred the internet services in six districts where the protests intensify.

On Sunday night, the protestors stormed the Uluberia police station and attacked and injured the police authorities while the districts like Nadia and Birbhum had reported with riots and lootings. Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, who was one among some of the Chief Ministers in the nation to assert that her government won't be implementing the amendment in the state, would likely occupy the streets in Kolkata to urge the Central government to abrogate the law.

The students across the nation from various institutions took to the streets for the past few days with the view of voicing against the bill where the students of Moulana Azad National Urdu University in Hyderabad staged a protest and most of the districts in the state of Uttar Pradesh were reportedly left under the clouds of uproar and the state government had stalled the internet services in six districts. The students from Aligarh Muslim University went for a series of clashes with the police on Sunday night that had resulted in injuries for at least 60 students following which the management of the university had suspended the classes till January 5th, 2020.

On the other hand, the state of Assam which is the epicenter of the protests had reported with four deaths due to the police firing while about 26 people have been hospitalized with severe injuries. On Monday, senior Supreme court advocate Indira Jaising had taken the protests of the students in Jamia Millia and Aligarh Muslim Universities to the attention of Chief Justice of India S A Bobde. Jaising had asked the Apex court to hear the case on its own motion by citing the issue as a serious human rights violation after which the Chief Justice had notified that the court would consider hearing the matter only after the protestors stop damaging the public properties.
