On the eve of the Bihar bandh called by the left-wing parties
and others on Thursday, women activists associated with Mahila
Vikas Manch in Bihar launched an awareness campaign in Patna to
spread awareness on NRC and CAA among people, especially women.
They marched through many areas and asked people, including
students, to not be misled by any political party over NRC and CAA.
"The CAA and the NRC is nothing to worry over. Don't get
misled towards agitation and disruption of public transportation without
knowing the causes", they told people.
Sonal Singh, one of Mahila Vikas Manch said that the
students shouldn't be made a pawn in the name of agitation over the NCR or the
CAA.
They roamed across the city and appealed the people to not
disturb the normal life of the public or target public transport.
"Without educating the students on the NRC and CCA,
students are dragged into disruptive activities on roads. This kind of emerging
trends in politics is giving a wrong message to the people", Veena Manvi
of Manch said.
The members of this Manch also distributed pamphlets among the
common people detailing on the NRC and CAA.
Slamming the Congress party for instilling fears in the minds of
the minority community members, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday
challenged Rahul Gandhi to show at least one clause of the Citizenship
Amendment Act that has the provision to snatch away the citizenship of any
person.
Addressing a rally in Shimla to commemorate BJP's second year in
power in Himachal Pradesh, Shah strongly defended the CCA and accused the
Congress party of spreading rumours about the CAA and NRC. "Congress and
company are spreading rumours that this act will take away citizenship of
minorities, Muslims. I challenge Rahul baba to show even one clause in the act
that has provision to take away citizenship of anyone,’’ Shah said.
"Minorities in neighbouring countries are suffering from
atrocities in the name of religion have been given citizenship but Congress is
misleading the public on the issue."
Shah further said that under this Act, there was no provision to
take away the citizenship of anyone, even belonging to a minority community.
"This Act has a provision to give citizenship to the those belonging to
the minority who came from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan," he said.
Talking on cross border infiltration and taking a dig on the
previous UPA Government, Shah said, "The Congress Government of
Sonia-Manmohan was there for ten years. Back then, aalia-malia-jamalia from
Pakistan used to infiltrate into India every day; they would cut and take our
soldiers' heads. And the country's prime minister won't even make a 'uff'
sound."
"Narendra Modi with his 56-inch chest is a PM who knows how
to give a befitting reply to terrorists," he said.
Shah listed the scrapping of Article 370 and the Supreme Court
decision that the paved way for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya
among the achievements of the BJP government at the Centre.
He saluted the bravery and sacrifices of the people of Himachal
Pradesh for their sacrifices for the country as he said that there has been
four Paramveer Chakra winners from the state. He said that Rs 35,000 crores had
been deposited in the accounts of army retirees under the one rank one pension
scheme. "Dev Bhoomi is also called veer bhumi as soldiers of Himachal have
sacrificed their lives for the nation and have received four Param Vir
Chakras," said Shah.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and BJP working
president J P Nadda were also present and addressed the rally beside other
leaders.
Shah was also the chief guest at the first Ground Breaking
Ceremony of Himachal Pradesh Global Investors Meet- 2019. In 2017, BJP came to
power in the hill state and Jairam Thakur was sworn in as the Chief Minister of
Himachal Pradesh
