New Delhi (18/12/2019) : One BSP delegation led by senior party leader Satish Chandra Mishra met President Kovind at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi today morning.
“We requested the President to revoke the Citizenship Amendment Act as it is unconstitutional,” Mishra said after the meeting.
“We told him (President Kovind) that Act is wrong and in violation of the Preamble, Article 14 & 21,” Mishra further added.
The BSP delegation also discussed the campus protests across India. “We also requested to constitute a judicial inquiry to look into the atrocities of police against innocent students across the country,” Mishra said.
In its memorandum, signed by its both Lok Sabha (10) and Rajya Sabha (4) MPs, the BSP said that a judicial probe be initiated on the “illegal action” of the Delhi Police against a “peaceful” protest organised by the students. “The lathicharge and the attack on students of Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University and Nawada University by the police while they were protesting against this law should be probed,” the BSP memorandum said. The meeting comes a day after an Opposition delegation led by interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi met President Kovind on Tuesday.
