Opposition spreading lies, CAA in national interest: Sham
12/22/2019 10:14:10 PM
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 22: Former Minister and BJP leader Sham Lal Sharma today accused Congress and other opposition parties for spreading lies about Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
While addressing Public meeting at Naiwala, Gurha Jagir, Sham said "The bill is in national interest. In Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, there was religious oppression due to which people took refuge in India. Now, the bill seeks to give them citizenship," he added.
The programme was organized by Panch Suirinder Sharma (Munnu).
Taking a dig at Congress and other opposition parties and accusing them of 'childish talk', he said that a government which gives property rights to people irrespective of religious background, will it ask them to produce decade old documents.
He further said that those still in doubts, I will tell them rumours are being spread by opposition parties for petty politics. The Muslims of India and J&K don't need to worry at all. The CAA will not apply to the Muslims of the country and J&K.
Sham said, Citizenship amendment bill has the endorsement of 130 crore citizens of the country as it was the part of the BJP manifesto in 2014 as well as 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Rejecting the charge of the Citizenship Amendment Bill that it targets Muslims, Sharma said, the Citizenship Amendment Bill does not discriminate. It gives and does not snatch rights.
