Home Minister Amit Shah challenges Congress to show clause of citizenship denial to Muslim in CAA

Addressing a rally here at the Ridge ground on the completion of two years of Jai Ram Thakur-led BJP government in Himachal Pradesh, Shah alleged that Congress was inciting violence and breaking peace in the country on the name of denial of citizenship to the Muslim through CAA.

'I challenge Congress and its leader Rahul to show which clause indicates the denial of citizenship to Muslim in the country as the bill after passing by Parliament is available in public domain," Shah stated.

The CAA will provide citizenship to the minorities living in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Shah said and added that it would provide a respite to lakhs to crore of people who are seeking Indian citizenship.

In a bold move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came up with this legislation after seven decades of Congress rule, which would end the trail of number of minorities who fled to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan and living in the country as refugees and non state citizen, Shah said.

Attacking Congress, Shah recalled that the law would provide the citizenship to minorities as a part Jawharlal Nehru and Layakat Ali 1950 agreement.

'Indian Minority which was around 23 pc in Pakistan during the partition, now reduced to only 3.7 per cent as they faced atrocities or repression,' Shah claimed.
