The Ramakrishna Math and Mission on Sunday distanced itself from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, contending that it was a strictly apolitical body which did not respond to “ephemeral” calls.
The prime minister, during his address from Belur Math – the headquarters of Ramakrishna Mission – had said that the new law would not take away anybody’s citizenship. Modi also said that a section of the youth was being misguided about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
Addressing a press meet here, Swami Suvirananda, the Ramakrishna Math and Mission general secretary, said, “The organisation will not comment on the prime minister’s speech on CAA. We are a strictly apolitical body. We have come here after leaving our homes to answer eternal calls. We do not respond to ephemeral calls.” #RamakrishnaMission #CAA_NRC #PMModi
