Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi repealed the controversial three farm laws, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi demanded that the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) should be withdrawn as well.
He warned that if CAA and NRC are not scrapped, protestors will “take to streets and turn it into Shaheen Bagh”.
“CAA is against the ConstitutionIf BJP government does not take back this law, we will come out on the streets and another Shaheen Bagh will come up here,” Owaisi said, addressing a public meeting at UP’s Barabanki on Sunday.
Owaisi also said the farmers had rightly taken note of the deceiving nature of the Centre and their move to not stop the protest before a bill was introduced in the parliament to repeal the farm laws was spot on.
“This regime is deceitful and the farmers have rightly taken note of it. Even during the CAA and NRC, Modi had openly claimed that there was nothing about NPR and NRC in the bill. But when I spoke in the parliament and when I asked Amit Shah if NRC and NPR would be done, he said that was obvious. That is how deceitful this government is, we cannot trust them unless they introduce a bill in the parliament” he said.
