Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday urged party workers to aid and assist the victims of anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests.
Gandhi, who met families of two such victims on Saturday in Assam, said many people have been wounded and killed while protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Rahul Gandhi tweeted “Across India, many young men & women have been wounded & even killed while protesting against the
CAA.
I urge our Congress party workers to meet the victim’s families & provide them all possible assistance. On Saturday I met the families of 2 young martyrs in Assam.”
Meanwhile Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is in Lucknow since the past few days, again met families of some people injured in the protests and assured them legal assistance on Monday.
Congress plans to cover the legal costs for this set of protesters.
