Left parties on Monday staged a sit-in at the Jantar Mantar here against the police action on anti-CAA and anti-NRC protestors over the past few weeks in the country.

Braving the biting cold, protestors reached Jantar Mantar to show solidarity with those injured in clashes between police and protestors across the country.

Holding anti-CAA, anti-NPR and anti-NRC placards, people raised slogans against police forces accusing them of committing "atrocities" on peaceful protestors.
