New Delhi: Amid the raging anti-CAA protests in the entire nation, the Congress will take out marches across the country on Saturday against the CAA, for which the party has asked its leaders to organise a flag march in each state and inform the people about the CAA. While Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will be in Lucknow for the 134th foundation day event, her brother Rahul Gandhi will head to Assam's Guwahati where he will address a rally and lead protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), among other issues.

Priyanka Gandhi on Friday reached Lucknow to lead a party meeting to devise a strategy to take on the Uttar Pradesh government on the police brutality against anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protesters.

"Priyanka Gandhi will be participating in the (party) foundation day event and then will hold the meeting of party's advisory and strategy body. She will also hold the meeting of the office bearers of Uttar Pradesh Congress," a party leader said.

The situation in Uttar Pradesh is tense as more than 15 people have been shot dead in alleged police firing over the CAA-related protests.

Priyanka Gandhi on Friday took a veiled dig at Home Minister and the saffron party and said that "youngistan will not budge". Borrowing Shah's "understand the chronology" remark on National Register of Citizens and Citizenship Amendment Act, Priyanka took a swipe at the Central government over the widespread protests across the country against the new Citizenship act and the proposed NRC.

“Understand the chronology... First they will promise you two crore jobs. Then they will form the government. Then they will destroy your universities. Then they will destroy the country’s constitution. Then you will protest. Then they will call you a ‘fool’ but youngistan will not budge,” the Congress leader tweeted in Hindi.

Several Opposition parties including the Congress is opposing the Citizenship Act alleging it to be unconstitutional and discriminatory.

On Thursday, the Congress also raised objections to the process of the National Population Register (NPR). The party alleged that the NPR exercise would involve invading the privacy of the citizen.
