Delhi riots have religated Shaheen Bagh protest as far as catching media eyeballs are concerned but the government not interfering peaceful protesting women of the Muslim community even in Uttar Pradesh where the protest was dealt with iron hands for certain reason. If sources are to be believed the government is following suggestion of an Islamic scholar who hates to be called himself a Muslim leader.

He has been of the view that radical Muslims have not been allowing their women to step out their homes but in the name of CAA, they have not only allowed them to sit in but allowing them to be part of till late night. This is going to embolden women and empower some of them as the leader. Muslim women who failed to assert all these years will speak their minds in their personal matters when need be with the new experienced freedom. So it is advised that let them remain at Shaheen Bagh and other places.

The government feels that this incidence will ultimately change them and they will gradually challenge male dominance in the household. Except such person who have some political commitment they are definitely going to realise what did they achieve out of it and outside world is full of free air than they have been living in so far. Muslim leadership close to the government especially women are trying to reach out such women. So what Shah Bano incidence had failed to do to Muslims, CAA protest is doing to them unknowingly.
