Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said here that after being failed to “convince” the people on the Citizenship Bill, the Congress is trying to create “confusion” on the issue.

While addressing a large number of people during “Jan Sampark” on the Citizenship Amendment Act at Dhamoura in Rampur as a part of the BJP’s nationwide awareness campaign on the CAA, Shri Naqvi said that the Congress is trying to create “atmosphere of instability” in the country.

Shri Naqvi said that “fake fabricated propaganda”, being carried out by the Congress and its allies on the issue of the Citizenship Amendment Bill will be exposed soon. “Barrier of Bogus Bashing Brigade” on the Citizenship Bill created by the Congress and its allies will be broken and the truth will prevail.

Shri Naqvi said that Muslim is living in India not by “compulsion” but by “commitment” to nationalism. Social, religious, constitutional rights of Indian Muslims are absolutely safe.

Shri Naqvi said that the Citizenship Amendment Bill is a Bill to provide citizenship to Minorities facing religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The Bill will provide citizenship only to a person if he or she wants it.

Shri Naqvi said that “the Citizenship Bill is to provide citizenship and not to take away citizenship of any person”.But the Congress and its allies with “narrow political interests” are spreading misinformation in a particular section of the society regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act. These people are trying to hide the “Mountain of Truth” by “Bushes of Lies”.

Shri Naqvi said that there is no question mark or threat to citizenship of any Indian Muslim from the Citizenship Bill or any other legislation. Social, religious, constitutional rights of Indian Muslims are absolutely safe.

Shri Naqvi said that the people of the country will not get influenced by “misinformation campaign” of the Congress and some of its allies. The people of the country have complete trust on Prime Minister Shri NarendraModi. The ModiGovernment has been working with commitment to “Development without Discrimination”. The Modi Government has been working to ensure “happiness in eyes and prosperity in life” of every needy by breaking the barriers of religion and region.

Shri Naqvi said that the Congress and some of its allies take a different approach on the same issue in Parliament and on the road. In Parliament, they support a Bill and oppose the same on the street and create an "atmosphere of fear and confusion". The purpose of the Congress and its allies is not to do good to the people, their purpose is to create misinformation for their “narrow political interests”.
