We're also providing citizenship to religiously persecuted minorities from neighboring countries, and a Ram Mandir is also being built on Lord Ram's birthplace with peace & harmony. Partition took place on the basis of religion. In Pakistan, tremendous persecution of minorities has been done, and a lot of people have had to leave their houses and come to India." He also questioned the Congress party after its increasing protests and remarks against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). "A few weeks ago, Parliament has also done the historic work of creating CAA. But the people of Congress and their allies and their created ecosystem have stood up against the Parliament of India. Why is the Congress silent on Pakistan's persecution? Is it not our responsibility to help these persecuted people who have come from Pakistan?" He went on to ask whether the Congress would also ask protesters to sloganeer against Pakistan's persecution as well.
