Delhi BJP
president Manoj Tiwari on Thursday challenged AAP convener and Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal as well as Delhi Congress chief Subhash Chopra for a discussion
on the new citizenship law.
Over the
last few days, Delhi has witnessed relentless protests over the Citizenship
Amendment Act (CAA) with some of them at Jamia Nagar and Seelampur turning
violent.
The BJP, AAP
and Congress have indulged in an intense blamegame over the agitations and the
subsequent police action.
In a tweet, Tiwari asked Kejriwal and Chopra to “rise above politics” and “clear doubts and confusion” of the Muslim community over the Citizenship Act. He tweeted
“If
they do not come… their pictures will be put on a chair and I will read out
the CAA provisions for the people present there,” Tiwari said.
“I am
deeply saddened by the ongoing protests against CAA. No citizen of India will
be sent anywhere. This country belongs to every Indian…,” Tiwari said
further.
The BJP in
turn has accused the two parties of spreading “rumours” about the
law.
