Shaheen Bagh in South Delhi was the center of the agitation against the citizenship amendment law earlier this year, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“The presence of individuals and groups that opposed the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and CAA in Shaheen Bagh clearly establishes that the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang is trying to experiment with Shaheen Bagh 2.0 and create riots under the grip of the protest from farmers, “Tiwari charged.
Farmers from Punjab, Haryana, UP and other states are camping on the borders of Delhi demanding that the Center withdraw the three new agricultural laws.

Tiwari said he hoped that the real farmers protesting the farm laws would understand the reality and thwart the “intentions” of the alleged ‘tukde-tukde’ gang.
