CAA discriminatory and divisive law; NPR is ‘disguised NRC’: Sonia

NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday termed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act a “discriminatory and divisive” law whose “sinister” purpose was to divide people on religious lines, and asserted that the NPR in form and content was “disguised NRC”.

Addressing the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting here, she said thousands of young men and women, especially students have realized the “grave harm” that implementation of the new Citizenship law will cause.

They have taken to the streets braving the cold as well as police brutalities, Gandhi said.

“We demand that a comprehensive high-powered commission be constituted to enquire into the incidents connected with the anti-CAA protests and give justice to the affected persons,” she said. (AGENCIES)
