The Supreme Court-appointed mediation panel will again meet the anti-CAA protesters on Thursday at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh in an effort to hear and understand their views. The protesters have been holding a sit-in protest at a public road in the area for over 60 days now.
Amid protests over the anti-CAA protests in the country, over 150 prominent citizens including former judges, bureaucrats, army officers and academicians have written to President Kovind saying that a "false and motivated" campaign is being launched against the law.
The Supreme Court's appointment of two interlocutors to persuade the Shaheen Bagh protesters to move to another venue brought a little disappointment to the demonstrators though many of them believe there is finally an avenue to talk to the government about their dissent.
The Delhi High Court on Monday sought responses of the Centre, the AAP government and the city police on a plea by a Jamia Millia Islamia student seeking compensation for injuries suffered allegedly in police action against anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protesters on December 15 last year.
Anti-CAA protests by members of Muslim community continued for the third day on Sunday in Old Washermanpet area in the city and some other parts of Tamil Nadu.
Heavy police deployment is in place at Shaheen Bagh where hundreds of women protesters are waiting for permission to meet Home Minister Amit Shah for a dialogue over the new citizenship law.
