The Congress will prepare a proposal for bringing a law against mob lynching and send it to the President if voted to power in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, the party said on Monday.

National chairman of Congress' Minorities Department, Imran Pratapgarhi, said the party resolved to set up a legal cell in its minorities department for solving problems of the minority community through legal means.

Pratapgarhi said this while addressing the 'Parivartan Sankalp Sammelan', organised by the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee Minorities Department.

A 16-point resolution was also issued on the occasion which said that the Congress would withdraw cases registered during the anti-CAA and anti-NRC protests and give compensation.

All the riots that took place during the regime of Samajwadi Party in the state would also be investigated, it said.
