News Desk: Addressing a rally at Thakurnagar on Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured Matuas that the Bharatiya Janata Party will give citizenship to the Matuas as soon as the vaccination process is complete. He even assured that Muslims will not lose citizenship because of the CAA.
Shah said
“There are people who are spreading misinformation about CAA. But, I told my brother Shantanu Thakur that I will come personally and clear all the confusion. I could not make it here recently. Mamata di was very happy that I could not make it. But I would like to tell her that I will come again and again till I free Bengal from her misrule.
Propaganda has been spread that this bill is against the Muslims in India. They are Indian citizens and will always remain. There is no question of discrimination against Muslims. No Muslim in India needs to worry due to CAA.
Today, as a Union Home Minister of India, I would like to announce from this ‘Pavitra Bhoomi’ that CAA will not snatch away the citizenship of my Muslim brothers. There is no clause in CAA to do so. It is an Act for giving citizenship and not for snatching it.
In 2018, we promised to ensure justice to my Matua brothers and sisters that we will bring citizenship act. We fulfilled our promise in 2019 after Matua’s brothers and sisters fully supported us. Today, I would like to assure you that we will implement CAA once the COVID-19 vaccination process gets over.
Mamata ji is saying that she will not allow us to implement CAA. But I would like to ask her how she can stop an act from being implemented which was passed in the parliament. Also, in April she will not be on CM’s chair and we will ensure this as we are certainly going to win the upcoming State polls”
