Meerut/IBNS: Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were on Tuesday stopped outside Meerut while they were on their way to meet families of the victims of the violent anti- Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests in Uttar Pradesh.

The police had stopped though there were only three people together, Congress claimed.

Sitting inside his car, Rahul said, "We asked the police if they have any order, they didn't show us any order but they told us to go back."

The Congress leaders visited Uttar Pradesh days after the state witnessed violence in the name of protests against the CAA which will grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi but not Muslim refugees who came to India from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan before 2015.

The top brass of Congress on Monday sat on a dharna in New Delhi protesting against the CAA.

Earlier, a delegation of the Trinamool Congress had tried to visit Uttar Pradesh but they were not allowed to enter the state.
