Large number of people gather for pro-CAA rally in Mumbai

In Mumbai, a large number of people gathered for a pro-CAA rally at the historic August Kranti Maidan on Friday evening.

The rally, organised by BJP's Sanvidan Sanman Manch', was led by former Chief Minister and current opposition leader in the state Assembly Devendra Fadnavis. 

Addressing the rally, Mr Fadnavis said that the Congress and the left parties have tricked and misled ordinary people for some votes.

The supporters of CAA were seen carrying national flags along with placards with



pro-CAA and NRC messages and shouting slogans.

They were also carrying photographs of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. The Sanvidan Sanman Manch' is organising such rallies in various parts of the city. 

One such rally in support of CAA and NRC was organised at Dadar last week. The organisers had planned a support march between the August Kranti Maidan to Lokmanya Tilak statue at Girgaum Chowpatty but Mumbai police denied them permission for the march citing law and order issues.
