How it started and what Chennai Police Did
On Sunday, police had detained eight residents, including 5 women for drawing kolams that protested the CAA in Besant Nagar. The residents, members of a platform called 'Citizens Against CAA Group' had gone to different streets in Besant Nagar and requested permission from house owners to draw the kolams in front of their homes. They had been picked up by the police while drawing some. Political leaders had condemned the police action.
Two advocates who arrived at the police station were also detained by the police. While the citizens condemned the police action on the protesters stating that they had the right to dissent, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, who gave orders to detain the protesting citizens said that small group could have grown and become a law and order issue and hence it was imperative to prevent it.
The detention, however, sparked outrage across the state and by Sunday night many more people started replicating the innovative mode of protest. On Monday morning, ‘DMK Kolam Protest’ and ‘Kolam against CAA’ were trending on Twitter with hundreds of users talking about it and uploading pictures of their kolams on the micro-blogging platform.
