New Delhi [India], Jan 25 (ANI): Amid the ongoing debate over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), as many as 154 eminent
citizens have written to President Ram Nath Kovind to take action against those indulging in violence in the name of protesting against the
Act.The personalities, which include former judges, civil servants, and defence officers, urged President Kovind to initiate action against
such miscreants in order to 'protect democratic institutions'.Permod Kohli, Central Administrative Tribunal chairman and former judge who
led the delegation to meet the President, alleged that the protests against CAA were 'instigated' by political elements
The voice of support from the group came even as voices of dissent from across various sections continue to emerge against the CAA and the
National Register of Citizens (NRC).The CAA grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi
communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014
