Tweet thread on a colony protest: At Defence Colony this morning where residents had planned a meeting on CAA, a dozen or so cops arrived in the park early to dissuade them. RWA president said disperse as "In this colony we don't like such type of things"
The gathered residents including some elderly ladies said they had simply come to talk amongst themselves. Police said you don't have permission. Residents asked what stopped people from coming into their own park to talk.
A female lawyer explaining the law was heckled by a gentleman who said "Don't talk about Assam. This is Delhi." She said "Assam is also a part of India." As the arguments got heated, some of the girls began to sing the national anthem. The gentleman contd to speak above that.
A second disrupter arrived shouting "Jhoot ki dukan band karo" but when people asked him to point out the lie, he began to shout louder. Resident read the Preamble of the Constitution.
An elderly lady, a former resident had come from Tughlakabad. "Kagaz nahi dikhaoongi chahe detention camp mein bhej Dein"
Cops were co-operative as they didn't force the crowd to disperse but filmed the entire event. Senior instructed a constable to focus on "faces". They also took away every banner and mic. Local CID also present.
Another video shared by a resident shows the hecklers continued shouting even during the national anthem, a punishable offence under Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act.
