Nehru was supposed to give citizenship to people from Pakistan: Amit Shah

New Delhi, Feb 4, 2020, Tuesday

Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the country's first Prime Minister, promised to give citizenship to minorities coming from Pakistan. But now the Congress is supporting those who are demonstrating in Shaheen Bagh because the minority (Muslims) are the Congress's votebank.

Amit Shah said that the law on citizenship was originally the idea of ​​the Congress. In 2011, Congress drafted a proposal for a citizen's register but then did not implement the proposal because of fear of being robbed of its Muslim vote bank.

At the campaign meeting of Delhi-based Rajendra Nagar candidate RP Singh, Amit Shah said that on February 8, the people have to decide whether the people who are shouting anti-national slogans in Shaheen Bagh should bring back their government.

He said that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi and Maulana Azad had promised citizenship to the refugees from Pakistan, but that promise was later forgotten. Right now, as we are taking that step, Congress has a stomach ache.

The Delhi Assembly elections are against two parties, one of which is with the people watching in Shaheen Bagh, and the other is the avenger against those who invaded our troops by entering Pakistan. The voters have to decide who to choose?

He alleged that your government was encroaching on people who shouted anti-national slogans at JNU. Kejriwal spoke of putting commandos in buses to protect women, but alleged that he had given his cadres a dress of commandos instead of commandos.
