Combat ‘false narratives’ on CAA, farm laws

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday said "false narratives" are being built around with Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and that "there is a big conspiracy behind it." 

"Today false narratives are made around sometimes with CAA, sometimes on the farm laws and sometimes with labour laws. Every BJP worker has to understand that there is a well-calculated politics behind it and there is a big conspiracy behind it. Their purpose is to create political instability in the country," he said in a video message on the occasion of the Bharatiya Janata Party's 41st foundation day.

"Various rumours are spread in the country, confusion is created. They say that constitution will be changed, that reservation (for backward castes and tribes) will be quashed and sometimes they say that the farmers' land will be snatched. These are all lies," Modi said.

"These lies were spread" by those "who could not accept their defeat, some for political gains and there are others who are against BJP," he said.

The PM asked BJP workers to be alert against such "fake narratives" by being in the midst of the people and by constantly being in touch with them.
