Kannur
In Kannur, there was solely a pure protest in opposition to the governor’s anti-democratic speech on the stage of the Indian Historical past Congress. Historic Congress representatives protested in opposition to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan who defended the Citizenship Modification Act. The governor portrays the protest, which had a whole lot of eyewitnesses and made information together with the nationwide media, as an assassination try on him.

The protest that attracted nationwide consideration was in the course of the opening ceremony of the eightieth Historical past Congress held on the Kannur University headquarters on 28 December 2019. Talking first, MP KK Ragesh and historian Irfan Habib indicated that democracy and secularism are going through challenges within the nation. Referring to this, the governor began talking saying that he had some issues to say earlier than his written speech. On the problem of citizenship, those that protested at Raj Bhavan and Kozhikode University program have been invited for dialogue and debate. Nobody got here. My view on citizenship challenge is appropriate. Protesters have theirs. When the governor mentioned that violence is being inspired when the door to dialogue is closed, there was a protest from the viewers.

Among the delegates held placards that learn ‘Reject CAA, NRC and NPR’. The offended governor mentioned that every one the questions you elevate have particular solutions. The protest intensified when the governor shouted that Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria was brutally tortured there as a result of he was a Hindu. About half of the delegates stood up and shouted ‘Disgrace’. Some shouted that that is India, not Pakistan. Irfan Habib, who was current on the stage, mentioned that it could be acceptable to cease the speech on this method. The Governor quoted Gandhiji and Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad to assist his argument. Irfan Habib requested that you need to quote Godse and never Gandhiji. The governor stopped the speech accusing the protesters of diverting the problem.

Jamia Millia and JNU college students who raised slogans in opposition to the Governor and the Citizenship Invoice have been taken into police custody. The governor is consistently calling this incident a deliberate assassination try.
