Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday said the Citizenship (Amendment) Act was against the spirit of the Constitution and the people of the country wouldn’t accept it. Another demand was an investigation into cases of protest-related violence under a sitting or a retired high court judge. Priyanka said it was clear from video footage that the police were involved in the violence. Priyanka mentioned Bijnore and Kanpur where youths have been killed in firing and blamed the deaths on the police and the local administration. Priyanka rode pillion on the two-wheeler, owned by Rajdeep Singh, a resident of Gomti Nagar in Lucknow, after police stopped her car on its way to Darapuri’s house.
