BJP resorts to social med
 
Staff Reporter :
 
To drum up support for Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) conducted a social media campaign in State on Monday. BJP leaders twitted in support of CAA and tried to clear the air over it. BJP leaders, including Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava, BJP State President Rakesh Singh and ex-CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, twitted in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act. BJP State President Rakesh Singh said that CAA is to provide citizenship to minorities who are persecuted in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. He also tweeted that there would not have been need for CAA if there was no division of country on the basis of religion.
 
It was due to wrong policies of Congress that country got divided. He said that Mahatma Gandhi had stated in prayer meet of September 26, 1947, that Hindu and Sikhs living in Pakistan can come to India and if they did not want to live in Pakistan then it is the moral duty of Indian government to provide jobs to them and to make their life easy. Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted that those who are trying to fan violence to protest CAA are actually trying to bring bad name to India. Anti-national forces are trying to strengthen their voice against CAA and they have nothing to do with progress and development of country. Opposition is doing the drama for its vested interest hence no one should get beguiled.
 
The reality of those handful people who are protesting against the new law will get exposed shortly before people. Talking about immigrant minority who came from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan and Modi government’s decision to give justice to them by providing citizenship, he came down heavily on Congress by saying that Opposition wants to divide country in the name of religion. He asked people not to believe the words of Congress. Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava told that abrogation of Article 370 and CAA was the partof BJP’s manifesto and people have given mandate to the BJP. Now Modi government is fulfilling the aspirations of people. Congress is trying to spread confusion over CAA. He tried to clear the air that new law does not snatch citizenship of anyone.
