PM Modi on CAA, assures that it will have no adverse impact on North East

Mounting a
strong defence of the Citizenship Amendment Act, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
said, the dispute that has arisen over it has made the world aware of ill-treatment
of religious minorities in Pakistan. He, however, offended that a section of
the youth is being misguided over the CAA, which is aimed at giving and not
taking away anybody’s citizenship.

Prime
Minister was addressing a gathering on the occasion of Birth anniversary of
Swami Vivekananda at Belur Math, the headquarters of RamKrishna Math and
Mission in West Bengal yesterday.

The Prime
Minister clarified that there will be no adverse impact of the CAA in North
Eastern region of the country. He said that by amending the citizenship act,
the scope of granting citizenship has been increased. The Prime Minister sought
the cooperation of youths to fulfill the dreams of Swami Vivekananda to build New
India.
