Earlier, the Congress leader had met the families of those who died during anti-CAA and NRC protests in Uttar Pradesh.

Priyanka had alleged that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government and the police have taken several steps, which do not have any 'legal' basis and have led to 'anarchy' in the state.
