Former Rajasthan minister and BJP leer Vasudev Devnani on Saturday said Congress is opposing amended citizenship law as it cant understand pain and suffering of immigrants.

"My family has suffered because of Partition of India on basis of religion. Congress cant understand pain and suffering of migrants. " Congress should protest against atrocities on Hindus (in country's where y are in mirity) inste of CAA that mandates to give m citizenship," he said in a statement. 

Members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities who have come from Pakistan, Banglesh and Afghanistan till December 31, 2014 and facing religious persecution re will t be treated as illegal immigrants, and be given Indian citizenship, according to CAA. Devnani accused Congress of granting citizenship to only Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir in garb of Article 35-A.

Hindus, who are mirity in neighbouring countries, are facing consequences of Congress's appeasement politics whereas CAA is going to dress all issues of mirities who migrate to India for a better life, he said.  Devnani alleged that Congress is trying to take political mile on sensitive issue by bringing a resolution in House.
