Shah on CAA violence
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday accused the Congress and the AAP of “burning the national capital in the fire of riots”.
Addressing a gathering here, Shah said the Congress and the AAP “misled the youth and people of Delhi and committed the sin of burning the national capital in the fire of riots”.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, his party and AAP are responsible for “riots” and breach of peace in the national capital over the amended citizenship law, he alleged. “Unashamed, they are still saying they will give legal aid to those behind the riots, go to their houses and take care of them,” he charged.
Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought in the new legislation to give citizenship to minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who have sought refuge in India, but “Congress and AAP, especially Rahul and Priyanka (Gandhi Vadra), are misleading minorities in the entire country”. “They are telling them ‘you will lose your citizenship due to CAA’. There is no provision in the amended law that takes away citizenship of people. Why are you lying?” Shah said.
The country is “watching with binoculars Rahul Gandhi supporting rioters”, he said, adding the Congress leader is identifying himself with those vitiating peace in the country. (PTI)
