Dalits who were facing persecution in neighbouring countries will benefit from CAA: JP Nadda

BJP National President J P Nadda yesterday said that those Dalit leaders, who are opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, and the Congress Party do not know anything about the citizenship Amendment Act and only spreading misconceptions.

He was addressing a rally in Agra yesterday to dispel doubts over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The rally was part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's statewide campaign on the CAA issue.

In his first rally after getting elected as BJP National President, Mr Nadda said that Dalit leaders and Congress Party do



not know anything about CAA and they are only misguiding people. He said that there is no ground to oppose CAA.

He added that the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi promised this kind of citizenship to the minorities of the neighboring countries and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is only fulfilling that promise.

Speaking at the rally, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that those who will be indulging in violence in the name of protest will be dealt with according to the law by the State Administration.
