The people from Sanquelim, Poriem and Bicholim constituencies in the state also took part and extended their support to the rally.
Addressing the rally, Sawant said: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have taken a historic decision. If you look at it, this was one of Mahatma Gandhi's dreams."
"The party (Congress) which is opposing the Act right now, its leaders had been speaking about it in the past," he added.
