GUNTUR: Hundreds of minority youth from across political parties participated in a rally, demanding withdrawal of National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) at Narasaraopet in Guntur district on Friday.

They also staged a sit-in in front of Narasaraopet MP Lavu Sri Krishnadevarayulu’s office at NGO Colony in Narasaraopet and submitted a representation to office staff. Several minority leaders objected to the NRC and CAB claiming it to be against the Indian Constitution.
