Sources from New delhi stated that congress interim president sonia gandhi had termed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act a "discriminatory and divisive" law whose "sinister" purpose was to divide people on religious lines, and asserted that the NPR in form and content was "disguised NRC". sonia said when addressing the congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, sonia said thousands of young men and women, especially students have realized the "grave harm" that implementation of the new citizenship law will cause. They have taken to the streets braving the cold as well as police brutalities.

 

She said "As the students' protest gains momentum, it is clear that the government is digging in its heels. Not a day passes without the home minister and on some days the prime minister himself making provocative statement". sonia added "The situation in some states is alarming, turning the states into police states, notably in Uttar Pradesh and the Union Territory of Delhi". Moreover coming down hard on the National population Register (NPR), gandhi told congress top brass not to be under any illusion that it was a "benign exercise in form and content, NPR 2020 is a disguised NRC".

 

Moreover sonia also hit out at the government over the state of the economy and the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. She said "It is a matter of anguish and concern that the people in kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>jammu and kashmir continue to be denied their fundamental rights while the government makes farcical claims of normalcy and arranges guided tours of diplomats".
