Slams Congress for “appeasement” in response to CAA backlash: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticizes Congress for opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, citing “appeasement and vote-bank politics” as the law was implemented four years ago.

Amit Shah emphasized that the Congress party opposed the Citizenship and Alienation Act (CAA), citing appeasement and vote-bank politics as reasons for their opposition to the promise of citizenship for religiously persecuted individuals.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has honoured Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jain refugees through CAA, despite millions of Pakistani and Bangladeshi people arriving in India without citizenship.

Amit Shah’s comments follow the implementation of CAA by the Centre, over four years after the parliament passed the legislation in December 2019.

CAA is opposed by Congress and other opposition parties.

Congress criticizes Modi government for notifying CAA rules, questioning timing for upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh argues the delay demonstrates Prime Minister’s lies.

Congress workers, led by opposition leader Debabrata Saikia, protested against CAA implementation in Guwahati, burning copies of the law during the demonstration.

Opposition parties, including West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee, have criticized the Centre for implementing unconstitutional and discriminatory rules, urging people to reconsider their citizenship applications.

Banerjee questions the legal validity of the CAA rules, arguing they are unconstitutional and discriminatory under Article 14, the fundamental right to equality.

Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin criticized the CAA as “divisive and bereft of any use” and stated that it would not be implemented in the southern state, stating it is unwarranted.
