Amit Shah at Lucknow rally: “Protest as much as you can, CAA won’t be taken back”

Union home
minister Amit Shah on Tuesday dared the opposition to continue their protests
against the Citizenship Amendment Act as he emphasised the legislation will not
be revoked.

The home
minister also called Congres’s Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal chief Mamata Banerjee,
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav for a public debate on the citizenship
act during a rally in Lucknow.

“The
anti-CAA parties are spreading propaganda and spreading illusions that’s why
the BJP is running the Jan Jagran Abhiyan, which is a public awareness campaign
against those who break the country,” Amit Shah said.

The minister
reiterated that there is no provision for taking the citizenship of anyone
anywhere under CAA and rather people will be given India’s citizenship.

His rally
comes even as the protest led by women against the Citizenship Amendment Act
(CAA) entered its fifth day.

Other than
Shah’s rally, other BJP leaders are also scheduled to address people in UP.

Newly-elected
BJP chief JP Nadda will be in Agra on Thursday to drum up support for the
recent amendment in the act.

Defence
minister Rajnath Singh and Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari, both
former BJP chiefs, will be also holding rallies in UP.
