New Delhi: Interim President of Congress Sonia Gandhi has come out on the violence that erupted in Delhi against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). She has appealed to the people of Delhi to maintain communal harmony and to thwart the wrong designs of the religious forces dividing the country on the basis of religion.

In a statement issued here, Sonia Gandhi expressed her condolences to the bereaved family while expressing deep grief and sorrow over the death of head constable Ratan Lal who was killed in the violence.
