New Delhi: The Congress opened another front against the Citizenship Act on Sunday, even as civil society activists formed a platform to resist the new legislation.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made a sudden trip to Uttar Pradesh, where nearly 20 people have been killed in violence related to NRC protests.
Meanwhile, activists have decided to come together and form a united front under the name “Alliance against CAA and NRC”.
The participants have resolved to support the widespread public disapproval of the CAA. It noted with concern that the law violates the basic secular structure of the Constitution and other UN Covenant. It also decided to appeal to the state governments to challenge the CAA by invoking Article 131 of the Constitution.
