NEW DELHI| On Thursday Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked the Narendra Modi led government for “shutting down everyone” as massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Despite prohibitory orders, people continued to rock the national capital.

Reacting to the current situation of the Delhi and the Nation Congress General Secretary said, “Metro stations are closed. The Internet has been suspended. Section 144 has been imposed everywhere. You are not allowed to raise your voice anywhere. The ones who have used the taxpayers’ money to explain various sciences to the people are now panicking and shutting down everyone.”

Thousands of protestors detained early morning as they reach to protest in Delhi near Red Fort. Swarajya Abhiyan chief Yogendra Yadav amongst the protestors were detained. He tweeted, “I have just been detained from Lal Qila. About a thousand protesters already detained. Thousands on the way. I am told we are being taken to Bawana.”

The Protest also resulted in huge traffic snarls during the morning peak hours, with the Delhi-Gurgaon route virtually choked with vehicles. “Police have placed barricades and are checking vehicles coming from Gurgaon to Delhi due to which the traffic is affected on the stretch,” the Delhi Traffic Police tweeted.

Taking into view the law and order situation, the entry and exit gates of 16 metro stations were also closed for the day.
