POREYAHAT (JHARKHAND): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019, which was recently passed by the Parliament, will give Indian nationality to refugees facing religious persecution in three neighbouring countries and not take away anyone’s citizenship in India.
Addressing an election rally here while campaigning for the BJP, Shah also alleged that some political parties were spreading rumours and inciting violence to promote their political interests.
“The CAA is to give citizenship to refugees facing religious persecution, it is not to take away citizenship of any Indian,” he said. (AGENCIES)
