Leaders of twelve Opposition parties met President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan today and urged him to advise the Central Government to withdraw the Citizenship Amendment Act.
A delegation of these parties led by Congress President Sonia Gandhi submitted a memorandum to Mr Kovind in this regard.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Mrs Gandhi said the situation is very serious and the way police dealt with peaceful protests in Jamia Millia Islamia is anguishing.
She also accused the Centre of muzzling the voices of people. CPI(M) General Secretary, Sitaram Yechury, Derek O’Brien of TMC, Ram Gopal Yadav of Samajwadi Party, T R Baalu from DMK, RJD’s Manoj Jha and CPI General Secretary D Raja were among those part of the delegation.
