Azad Maidan  

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers on Sunday (February 9, 2020) organised a rally at Azad Maidan in Mumbai demanding the ouster of illegal Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrants from the State. Scores of workers of Raj Thackeray's party were seen raising slogans in favour of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC). Some of them also played musical instruments to send out their message.

Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray's meeting with Muslim communities gathered severe criticism from netizens. Thackeray met the minority community with regard to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and lyricist Vishal Dadlani had joined the protest organised by students at the Gateway of India on Monday night. On January 7, the protesters were shifted from Gateway of India to Azad Maidan in Mumbai.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the Congress had tried to tarnish the image of thousands of years of Hindu culture. 'They cannot cleanse themselves of this sin,' he added.
