Anti-citizenship amendment act protest News
Khan was addressing an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) rally at AMU.
Samajwadi Party chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday opposed the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and also accused the government machinery of destroying the atmosphere of peace and harmony in the country.
The protest started early morning as agitators took to streets with banners and placards demanding rolling back of the Act. Road and rail traffic has been adversely affected as the agitators blocked the highways and vandalised public property.
Clashes with police rocked Gorakhpur, Bulandshahr and other parts of the state on Friday while thousands rallied in Delhi to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens.
Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad had escaped police custody earlier as his supporters managed to escort him out from the spot. He was detained as he carried out a protest march from Jama Masjid to Jantar Mantar despite being denied the permission to do so.
