EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launching a scathing attack against the opposition parties for supporting rioters could be an indication that the opposition leaders could face the heat in coming days.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “Since the day Citizenship Amendment Act has been passed leaders of the opposition parties have been issuing provocative statements and were in one way or another provoking the people to stage protests against the new law.”
He said, “The opposition parties are downplaying the statement of the PM Modi that CAA has got nothing to do with the National Register for Citizens and the pan-India NRC has not even been discussed.”Prime Minister Modi on Thursday made his displeasure public by asking the opposition parties what’s wrong in giving citizenship rights to the members of the persecuted minority communities. PM Modi even questioned the silence of the opposition parties over the persecution of the minorities in countries like Pakistan. “Our leaders have not even uttered a word against the atrocities being faced by the minorities in Pakistan during the past seventy years,” PM Modi said.
The analyst said, “Preliminary investigations carried out by the Uttar Pradesh Police have revealed the organization whi h orchestrated the protests in UP could have had links with the ISI and the miscreants who indulged in vandalization were given the clear cut instructions by their bosses to do so.”He said that since the day ISI angle to the protests has come to fore, the leaders of the opposition parties in UP have turned mute as they know that if the UP Police are able to gather enough evidence about protests being sponsored by Pakistan they could end up in a soup. “PM Modi has already hinted about it and in coming days there is every possibility about a few leaders in Uttar Pradesh facing the heat,” the analyst added.
An observer said, “Protests against the CAA across the country are aimed at telling the refugees that they are not welcome in India. Soon after the CAA became a law the opposition projected it as an anti-Muslim law and tried to send a message that CAA+NRC would mean that Muslims will lose their citizenships in India. But the air has been cleared and the government has driven home a point that CAA has got nothing to do with the permanent residents of the country. As the protests are dying down the government’s attention is turning towards the leaders who tried to stoke the communal passions by spreading misinformation. These leaders will have to answer what made them do so.”
