Member/volunteers of Anjuman-e-Himayat- e-Islam, Yairipok Tulihal staged a sit-in protest against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) at Yairipok Tulihal Azad Ground, today.
Speaking to media persons, Anjuman-e-Himayat- e-Islam Tulihal president, Abdul Gaffar said that the CAA, which got President assent recently, is against the Constitution as it aims to grant citizenship on the ground of religion.
As a democratic country, one has the rights to express his/her opinion, he said and condemned the police attack on students of Aligarh Muslim University, Delhi University and Jawaharlal Nehru University recently.
During the demonstration, the protesters displayed placards that read "Withdraw CAA" and "Don't implement NRC" among others.
