Even as politicians are making controversial statements against the women of Shaheen Bagh at the protest sight, the enthusiasm remains the same.
The area had lately gained nationwide attention due to a continued anti-CAA sit-in by people, especially Muslim women against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Population Register and National Register of Citizens.
