Mamata ‘triggered riots’ on CAA
Indian Home Minister Amit Shah yesterday targeted West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata at a rally to launch BJP's 'Aar Noi Annay' (no more atrocity) campaign said that 'sonar Bangla' (golden Bengal) is not possible as long as Mamata's government remains in power.
He accused Banerjee of "triggering riots" and "burning trains" to oppose Citizenship Act. The protests by the Bengal CM, who opposed it staunchly will be of no avail, Shah said as "Mamata didi by doing all this could you stop us?"
Amit Shah said the Narendra Modi government would not stop until and unless all refugees in the country are granted citizenship under the amended citizenship law (CAA).
In a virtual kick-start to the BJP's campaign for upcoming civic bodies poll in West Bengal, he accused opposition parties of misguiding the refugees and minorities and said not a single person will lose citizenship as a result of the CAA which was at the centre of riots in parts of north east Delhi last week that left 43 people dead and over 250 injured.
The CAA offers citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Jains and Buddhists who took shelter in India till 2014 after fleeing "atrocities" in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
