Protest in city against CAA, NRC

Visakhapatnam: Activists of various organisations came together under the banner of Protection of Constitutional Right Committee (PCRC) to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). The protestors staged a demonstration at the Mahatma Gandhi statue near the GVMC administrative office on Tuesday.
Speaking on the occasion, B Ganga Rao of CPI(M) said that the BJP government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is spoiling the ‘unity and sovereignty’ of the nation.“People from all over the country have united against NRC and CAA,” he said.
Rao further said that the BJP government has failed to address issues of unemployment, white collar offences and inflation and has been trying to divide the nation by introducing CAA and NRC in the country.
“We have decided to organise satyagraha against CAA and NRC on January 30. CAA and NRC will lead to violence and will hurt the development of the nation,” another protester said.
