NEW DELHI :
EXPRESSING their resentment over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), over 60 organisations have come together to launch a non-cooperation movement against any registration based on discriminatory and divisive citizenship. To register their protest against the new citizenship law, the organisations have given a call to observe December 19 as the day to reject the Citizenship Amendment Act passed by the Parliament earlier this week.
The organisations have planned more than 100 events under a common banner, “Ham Bharat Ke Log: National Action Against Citizenship Amendment”. On December 19 in 1947, Mahatma Gandhi visited Ghaseda village in Mewat (now Haryana) to appeal to Meo Muslims not to leave for Pakistan.
