At a time when farmers' protests against the new farm laws are raging across the country, a delegation of the anti-CAA and citizens' movement group 'Hum Bharat Ke Log' met Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Thursday at his bungalow Dyaneshwari and requested him to withdraw all the pending anti-CAA related cases and also help them get permissions to hold peaceful protests in support of the farmers.

The delegation apprised the minister of all the ongoing cases against activists who took part in the anti-CAA protests in Mumbai and other parts of the state. The cases include multiple FIRs filed across police stations in Colaba, MRA Marg, Nagpada and others in connection with CAA-NPR-NRC protests that took place last year. The delegation submitted a detailed memorandum signed by 31 citizens, with details of all the FIRs.
