Bharatiya Janata Party leader Manoj Tiwari on Wednesday claimed that the “tukde-tukde gang” was trying to turn the demonstrations by farmers in Delhi into Shaheen Bagh-like protests, PTI reported. “Tukde-tukde gang” is a term coined by the BJP to malign its critics as people working to balkanise India.

“Presence of individuals and groups who opposed [the] National Register of Citizens and CAA [Citizenship Amendment Act] at Shaheen Bagh clearly establishes that the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang is trying to experiment with Shaheen Bagh 2.0 and create unrest under the grab of farmers’ protest,” Tiwari claimed.

Shaheen Bagh in south Delhi had become the hub for the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act before it was forced to shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.
