NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel on Wednesday termed the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act at Shaheen Bagh a “threat to security” and said it was being held by “misled” people. The protest against the CAA at Shaheen Bagh in southeast Delhi has been going on for over a month. The protest began immediately after violent anti-CAA protest in Jamia Nagar on December 15 last year.
Goel also praised Delhi Police for containing the “threat to security” due to the protest at Shaheen Bagh. “What is happening in Shaheen Bagh is a very big threat to security. Who are they to tell whether an ambulance or a bus will pass through the road or not,” Goel said at a press conference.
Lauding the Delhi Police, he said the force has prevented the “security threat” from becoming bigger. “Delhi Police is applying its mind to prevent it (protest) from becoming a bigger threat.”
