Mangaluru MLA U.T. Khader and MLCs Harish Kumar and Ivan D’Souza on Tuesday asked the BJP not to hold public meeting in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act at the Nehru Maidan here on January 12.

They also requested the Muslim Central Committee to postpone meeting against the CAA slated on January 4.
