All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi will take part in a protest rally against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) on December 29th in Bihar.

The Hyderabad MP will be joined by former Bihar chief minister and Hindust Awam Morcha (HAM) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi at the rally, scheduled to be held in Ruidhasa Maidan in Kishanganj.
