Yesterday, the entire nation stood in solidarity to protest against the controversial CAA. Despite the imposition of section 144 in various cities, the number of protestors that filled every nook and corner of the nation was breathtaking.
As the residents of Bengaluru were protesting in front of Townhall and refused to leave, DCP Chetan Singh Rathore calmly spoke to the protesters about mob mentality, instead of breaking into a brutal lathi-charge.
After that, as a heartfelt measure of trust-building, he requested the protestors to join him for the national anthem, if they believed him. Here’s a video of the protesters singing the national anthem with Bengaluru’s DCP.

This was a goosebumps moment among all the mindless violence!! Gratitude 🙏@DCPCentralBCP
Incredibly heartwarming. But the problem is that this incident will be highlighted as the “face of peaceful protests” to cover up for the stoning, assault and Iyn**ing attempts of security forces by vio**nt mob at other places.
