During a press conference, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam warned Muslim protesters opposing the Waqf Amendment, threatening violence reminiscent of Jallianwala Bagh; he said, “If you come out on the streets, jump into manholes or gutters — this law will not change. If you create a Shaheen Bagh, it can soon turn into a Jallianwala Bagh.”
