Oppn’s falsehood caused anarchy: HM

Dares leaders to show provision depriving Muslims of Indian citizenship

Union Home Minister (HM) Amit Shah on Saturday alleged the falsehood being spread by the Opposition parties against the CAA has resulted in anarchy in the country. He challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and the Communists to show him any provision in the CAA, which would take away the citizenship of Muslims in the country.

Maintaining security was Modi government’s top priority, he said when India conducted surgical strikes and air strikes, it became the third country after the US and Israel to do so. “The Oppn does not have any other issue, so they are spreading misinformation and falsehood on CAA. This has resulted in anarchy in the entire country,” he said.

“Persecuted minorities have to come to India to save themselves. However, the previous governments did not give any facilities to these migrants thinking that it would make others unhappy,” he said at the inauguration of various projects of Gujarat Police in Gandhinagar.

“Rahulbaba, Mamata, Kejriwal and Communists are spreading lies CAA will take away the citizenship of Muslims. I challenge them to show me any such provision in the Act,” Shah said. “I urge BJP workers to visit every household and bust the lies and misinformation being spread against the CAA. Since there is no alternative to Modiji in politics at present, the Opposition is resorting to falsehood. We have the power to make people understand the truth. After our campaign is over, people of the country will understand the importance of CAA,” the BJP chief said.

He claimed there was no violence in Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 and not a single person died. “Some leaders from Opposition had claimed in Parliament there will be bloodbath. Such statements are on record. But people gave a befitting reply to such leaders. Not a single person has died there ever since Article 370 was abrogated,” he said. Meanwhile, Shah unveiled over 5.5 lakh postcards written by Ahmedabad residents to PM Modi, thanking him for CAA.
