The "propaganda that CAA is against the rights of the Assamese has fallen flat" as the people have totally ignored it in the ongoing assembly elections, Anurrag Thakur said.
Congress and other opposition parties in Assam are using Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as a "propaganda" to mislead the people in the polls but they have failed to peddle lies, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said on Sunday. The "propaganda that CAA is against the rights of the Assamese has fallen flat" as the people have totally ignored it in the ongoing assembly elections, Mr Thakur told PTI in an interview. "The Congress and other opposition parties made a big hue and cry over CAA and tried to create a narrative in the polls that the Act is against the rights of the people "parantu jhooth ke pao nahi hote (a lie has no legs to stand upon)," he said. The Citizenship (Amendment) Act aims to provide Indian citizenship to Hindus, Jains, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Parsis who entered India on or before December 31, 2014 from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan, having fled religious persecution in their countries.More Related News
