PM Modi on CAA

Various BJP leaders while addressing the media have time and again reiterated that Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) is for providing citizenship to foreigners. Reacting to the violent protests on the CAA on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that it was “unfortunate” and “deeply distressing”. Maintaining that violence and disturbance of normal life was not part of the Indian ethos, he reminded that the CAA was passed by both Houses of the Parliament with a resounding majority. The PM noted that the Act highlighted the country’s tradition of harmony and brotherhood.
