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.

He emphasised that the legislation was only aimed at helping persecuted individuals in other countries. Warning against rumours, he stressed that it was time to maintain peace and work together for the development of India.

He said, "I appeal to the students to study the Citizenship Amendment Bill. There is no provision to take away the citizenship of anyone.
