Congress is “knowledge-proof” on CAA-NRC: Ram Madhav

New Delhi, Jan 03 (HS): BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav today lambasted the congress party for spreading rumors and misunderstanding among the people on the issue of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) saying that the party itself is unclear and does not have enough knowledge about the subject.

Asserting that the CAA was not against any citizen of the country, the leader said the opposition parties protesting the legislation did not ever try to have knowledge about the laws. “They do not even make any attempt to know the facts about CAA and NRC. So they try to mislead people,” said Madhav.

During his address at Osmania University in Hyderabad on ”A Talk on Citizenship Amendment Act,” Ram Madhav taunted, “these parties are knowledge-proof like we used have water-proof watch in our earlier days.”

He further alleged that the oppositions or those who oppose the CAA were trying to divide the country on communal lines as they failed to face the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on political front.

The amended citizenship act envisages providing Indian nationality to persecuted minorities such as Hindus from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who came to India as refugees prior to December 2014.
