New Delhi: Amid protests against the CAA, the NRC and the NPR and violence in JNU, Congress Working Committee is meeting on Jan 11 at 3.30 PM to assess the political situation in the country.
The party has already supported the protests and showed solidarity with student bodies who are spearheading the protests.
Sources say that Congress will come up with a detailed plan on this issue and a statement regarding ongoing unrest in the country and high handedness of the government will also be released.
The party chief ministers are likely to oppose present format of NPR but final resolution will depend on the CWC.
The Congress president has already condemned the violence and has sent a fact-finding team to JNU.
Sonia Gandhi in her statement had demanded judicial inquiry into the JNU violence. "The entire Congress Party stands in solidarity with India's youth and students. We strongly deprecate the sponsored violence in JNU and demand an independent judicial inquiry."
"The voice of India's youth and students is being muzzled everyday. The horrifying and unprecedented violence unleashed on India's young by goons with active abetment of the ruling Modi government is deplorable and unacceptable", the statement said.
Sonia Gandhi accessed the government that everyday campuses and colleges are raided across India, either by the police or lumpen elements with support of the BJP government.
