New Delhi: The Congress has given a call for a 'dharna' against the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens at New Delhi's Raj Ghat on Sunday (December 22). The dharna is scheduled to be held from 2 pm to 8 pm tomorrow.

The dharna will see leaders like Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in attendance, said an ANI report. The decision to hold protest in the city was taken after Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal, party general secretaries Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jyotiraditya Scindia among others met at the party headquarters on Saturday evening.

Earlier in the day, Congress Core Group met at Sonia's residence to discuss the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
