Days after the central government notified the Citizenship Amendment Act, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the law would never be withdrawn and the BJP-led government would never compromise on it. In an interview to ANI, Amit Shah said, “It is our sovereign right to ensure Indian citizenship in our country, we will never compromise on it and CAA will never be withdrawn.”
Asked about the opposition INDIA Bloc, especially the Congress leader who said they would repeal the law when they come to power, the home minister said even the opposition knows it has bleak chances of coming to power. Amit Shah said- “Even the Indian coalition knows that it will not come to power. CAA has been brought by the BJP party, and the Narendra Modi-led government has brought it. It is impossible to cancel it. We will spread awareness about it across the country. So that those who want to cancel it do not get a place.

Amit Shah’s reply to the opposition…
Responding to the opposition’s claim of time to bring notification of CAA before the Lok Sabha elections, Amit Shah said, “First of all I will talk about the time. All the opposition parties including Rahul Gandhi, Mamata or Kejriwal are involved in factional politics. (politics of lies) So the question of time does not arise. The BJP has made it clear in its 2019 manifesto that it will bring in the CAA and grant Indian citizenship to refugees (from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan). The BJP has a clear agenda and under that promise, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019 was passed by both houses of Parliament. It was delayed due to covid. The BJP cleared its agenda well before the party got its mandate in the polls.” The Home Minister said “There is no question of political gain as BJP’s main objective is to provide rights and justice to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. “The opposition also questioned the surgical strike and abrogation of Article 370 and linked it to political gain. So should we not take strict action against terrorism? We have been saying since 1950 that we will withdraw Article 370.”
CAA aims to grant Indian citizenship…
Shah said, “I have spoken on CAA at least 41 times on different platforms and elaborated on it that the country’s minorities need not fear as there is no provision to take back the rights of any citizen. The purpose of CAA is to grant Indian citizenship. For non-Muslim migrants, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians – who immigrated from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan to India before December 31, 2014 and are persecuted by this Act, and by this Act, their sufferings are removed.
The Home Minister criticized opposition leaders like AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for claiming that the CAA was anti-Muslim. He said “You cannot look at this law in isolation. Our country was partitioned on August 15, 1947. Our country was divided into three parts; This is the background. Bharatiya Jana Sangh and BJP were always against partition. We never want it to divide the country. So when the country was divided on the basis of religion, minorities faced persecution, they were converted, minority women were persecuted and they came to India. They came to our shelter; Don’t they have the right to citizenship.”

Government will help all…
The Home Minister said that it is the moral duty of the government to ensure the rights of people who have been persecuted. “People who were part of integral India and who were persecuted or persecuted should be given asylum in India and this is our social and constitutional responsibility. Now if you look closely at the statistics, there were 23 people in Pakistan when partition took place. percent are Hindus and Sikhs but now only 3.7 percent Hindus and Sikhs remain. where are they They have not returned here. They were converted, persecuted and humiliated and given second class status. Where will they go? The country won’t think, the parliament won’t think about them, and the political parties shouldn’t think about them? “There are only 500 Hindus in Afghanistan now… Don’t these people have the right to live according to their faith. They were our brothers when India was united.”
Slamming the Delhi chief minister for his remarks that the CAA would take away jobs for India’s youth and increase crime, the Union minister said that people who would benefit from the law are already in India. He said “If they are so concerned why don’t they talk about Bangladeshi infiltrators and Rohingyas because they are doing vote bank politics? Delhi elections are tough for him that is why he is involved in vote bank politics.”
Mamata government not cooperating…
Amit Bhai Shah also questioned West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee that minorities will be deprived of their citizenship due to CAA. “I request Mamataji, that there are many platforms to do politics, but please don’t hurt Bengali Hindus coming from Bangladesh. I publicly challenge Mamata to state such a clause which has a provision to strip any Indian of citizenship. The intention is to create discord between Hindus and Muslims to strengthen the vote bank. Mamata government is not cooperating on CAA.
