Women protest at Lucknow Clock Tower

Kshitiz Kant;Lucknow

Women are staging Dharna at Lucknow clock tower in the area of old city of Nawabs since January 17th this week. 

This campaign is going on in protest against the NRC and the CAA. 

On 19 Th of December last year a huge mass swarmed in the city first peacefully then they turned violent and vandalised the public property.

Many people had been arrested in the case of stone pelting and torching of many vehicles parked in the Parivartan Chowk. They are yet in the jail and CM Yogi had asserted the loss of property to be recovered by bidding the property of these miscreats involved in the violence.

The women in the sivering cold winter are adamant in shouting slogans 'Dam Hai Kitna Daman Me Tere, Dekh Liya Hai Dekhenge' in the open sky. 

The local administration has not permitted them for the protest and all the amenities like public toilets, drinking water, and light at the place where Dharan is going on have been stopped.

Police to maintain the law and order in the area penalised the fines over the vehicles like two and the four wheelers.

About the 4 to 5 hundreds women are constantly staging Dharna day and night.

The women protest at clock tower has been termed an arranged Dharna by Congress and Samajwadi Party, said by Dr Chandra Mohan, state spokesperson to the BJP. He said that actually the miscreants under the patronage of SP and Congress turned violent during the anti-CAA agitation in the month of December last year. The state BJP government have taken stern action against these  accused and the property of them by identifying their involvement is being forfeited to recover the loss incurred during the violence.   

Mr Chandra Mohan alleged that the SP and the Congress are disturbed with the action taken; consequently, to prevent the taken action, they have managed this protest at the Lucknow Clock Tower.

He added that the people from the state have understood the foul role or masterminding of these parties. This is the reason why a limited crowd of women was constantly seen after all luring steps of these parties which were not able to convince a mass swarming of women from home for staging Dharna.

These Muslim women are not able to garner the support of their own family if let leave the public.

 Mr Chandra Mohan added that the SP, the BSP, and the Congress – all have had make the Muslims always puppet. These parties whenever think swipe Muslim women ahead, but do nothing for their betterment.
