Cong suffering from ‘mental bankruptcy’: Nadda
YOGI-SPEAK Those raising anti-national slogans to invite sedition charges
AGRA : Newly elected BJP national president JP Nadda on Thursday condemned the Congress for opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, saying the leadership of the party was suffering from “mental bankruptcy”.
“The Congress had decades to rule the nation, but lacked the will to amend the wrongs done to the nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has that will. In eight months of his second tenure, he has done what others could not do in seven decades,” stated Nadda.
“Abrogation of Article 370 from J&K, ban on triple talaq, Ayodhya case verdict and CAA are major steps taken during the tenure of Modiji. But the Congress leaders are suffering from mental bankruptcy. The statements issued by the party in the last eight months will reflect that these are intended to help Pakistan,” he said while addressing a public rally at Kothi Meena Bazaar ground here in support of the amended citizenship law.

He was accompanied by chief minister Yogi Adityanath, deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya and state BJP president Swatantra Dev Singh and organisational secretary Sunil Bansal.
“After Independence, the partition of the country was based on religion, which led to worst genocide and lakhs were killed at that time. In 1947, Mahatma Gandhi said minorities in neighbouring countries would be the responsibility of India. In December 2003, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged the then deputy PM LK Advani to take care of minorities facing tough time in neighbouring nations,” said Nadda.
“In 1947, Pakistan had a minority population of 23%, which came down to 3% while in Bangladesh the percentage fell from 30% to 7%. It is this segment that is being taken care of in CAA and 70% of these to be provided citizenship are dalits, yet dalit leaders in India are opposing the CAA,” complained Nadda.
Speaking in support of CAA, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said: “In democracy, all have the right to speak, but this does not allow anyone to damage public property. Those raising anti-national slogans will invite sedition charges and would be put behind bars.” “Those damaging public property on the instigation of SIMI and PFI are now on the back foot after their properties were seized. They are now placing women and children forward during protests against CAA. But we will not tolerate anti-national activities,” he emphasised. BJP state president Swatantra Dev Singh accused the Congress, the BSP and the SP of inciting violence. “There were no riots in UP under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath therefore the opposition parties fuelled violence in the state,” he alleged.
