Lucknow: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday demanded that party worker Sadaf Zafar who was arrested during a protest against the amended citizenship act be released immediately.

In a tweet, Priyanka Gandhi said, "Our party worker Sadaf Zafar was telling the cops to catch unruly elements, but, the UP Police beat her up badly and arrested her. She has two children. This is high-handedness (jyaadtee) and this type of oppression will not work."
