Bhopal: On Wednesday the Madhya Pradesh unit of Congress will hold a mega peace rally in the state capital against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) that was recently passed in Parliament and proposed implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The Bhopal district administration abrogated restrictions under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) on Monday, ahead of the rally that is expected to be attended by about 25,000 Congress workers from across the Madhya Pradesh.
The restrictions were imposed in several parts of the state in the wake of protests across the nation against the CAA and NRC. The rally, led by Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath, would begin from the New Market area and proceed towards Minto Hall.
According to sources Congress district heads from Bhopal, Rajgarh, Vidisha, Sehore, and Raisen have been assigned the responsibility of bringing party workers to Bhopal. The Congress party’s leadership has also issued instructions to ensure the rally is a peaceful one.
While the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to initiate a 15-day campaign from January 1 to do away with misunderstandings covering the legislations. The concern about the drive is being undertaken to clear the confusion being created by the Congress party on the issue, a BJP spokesperson said.
The BJP chief spokesperson, Deepak Vijayvargiya, said Congress has always involved in appeasement politics and this time, it is creating confusion in the minds of citizens. During the ‘Janjagran’ (awareness) campaign, our party’s workers would reach out to five lakh households to brief them about the issue.
Majoritarians Hindus and members of minority communities, including Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Christians, and Parsis, would be encouraged to write letters of thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for passing the CAA in Parliament, BJP spokesperson said.
