Urging to vote for the BJP, he slammed the Arvind Kejriwal government alleging that it failed to fulfill its promises with the people of Delhi
New Delhi: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday claimed that he felt “foreign forces” were trying to “weaken” India by “misleading” people against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
While addressing a rally inJangpura Assembly constituency, Singh repeated that the CAA is not going to take away any Indian Muslim’s citizenship but still misunderstanding was being created.
“No Indian including Muslims citizens will lose their citizenship due to CAA. Still, if the citizenship of a Muslim is questioned by anybody, the BJP will stand with him,” he said.
“Misunderstanding is being created to mislead the people. Certainly, I feel there is the hand of foreign forces behind this, who want to weaken India. Now you have to decide, where do you want the country to head,” Singh said.
Singh said India is not a Hindu nation and our country’s history is written with love.
“Our country is not a Hindu nation, it’s a secular country. There are some people are trying to write the history of India through the ink of hatred. But India has scripted our history through the ink of love and affection,” Rajnath Singh said.
The defence minister said around 600 Pakistani Muslims were given Indian citizenship in the last five-six years, asserting that the CAA was not against the minority community in India.
“Our government have not committed any crime by providing citizenship to minorities. Including Hindus and Sikhs persecuted in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. We are not the people who play politics of Hindu-Muslim,” he said.
Singh also said political parties were free to discharge their duties as the Opposition. But they need to keep in mind “their duty towards the nation in terms of the CAA”.
Urging to vote for the BJP, he slammed the Arvind Kejriwal government alleging that it failed to fulfill its promises with the people of Delhi. Also, the Delhi Government did not implement the Modi government’s schemes for them including the Ayushman Bharat health scheme.
“No leader in a democracy has the right to cause loss of people for his own benefit. But Kejriwal did this by blocking the Ayushman Bharat and other schemes of the Central government. He thinks PM Modi will become popular among the people,” Singh said.
Singh added the Modi government’s achievements, including the scrapping of Article 370 provisions, and said Kashmir will witness “such a development” in few years that even people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) will demand to merge with India.
