The stern action taken to curb the agitation against CAA probably sources say was not only to stop agitation but also to message to the legislatures, who were on dharna against the policies and being ignored by bureaucrats for the developmental programs of their respective constituencies by taking the name of CM. Approximately 200 legislatures sat on dharna for two days, the second-day Dharana went for the entire day and only by assurances were given by CM ended. On the same 16/17th, December the agitation was on prime. By giving free hand to police the CM has diverted the attention of media from the dharna and coverage was only of brutality. Later sources say leaders of groups were called to resolve but some undercurrent probably going on and CM will have to tackle?
