All five members of Parliament from Uttarakhand along with Union Human Resources Development minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank were present in the meeting.

BJP state president Ajay Bhatt said, “The party is committed to tell the truth about the CAA to people and make them aware about the lies spread by  the Opposition.”
