Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday has accused the Opposition of spreading falsehoods about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and asserted that it is only meant to give citizenship to refugees from neighbouring countries not to take away citizenship from people of the country.
“Owaisi is telling lies, so is (Congress President) Mallikarjun Kharge and also Rahul Gandhi. These people want to do vote bank politics. The CAA does not have any provision to remove citizenship, I want to reassure our minority brothers,” he told a meeting of party’s booth level presidents at L.B. stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
The CAA is the promise made in the party’s manifesto and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had “fulfilled all the promises made in the manifesto since 2014” including building the Ram Temple at Ayodhya, removing Article 370 to free Kashmir, brought the ‘Triple Talaq’ bill for benefit of Muslim women, passed women quota bill plus did many reforms.
