Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 would never be taken back.
Amit Shah Says CAA Will Never Be Repealed
The Home Minister stated that the government was committed to ensuring Indian citizenship in our country, dismissing any compromise on this sovereign right.
Addressing opposition assertions, Amit Shah claimed they were “aware of the bleak chances of coming to power” and consequently, the futility of attempting to repeal CAA.
He further reiterated BJP’s manifesto commitment and emphasized the law’s necessity in providing justice to persecuted minorities.
The Home Minister defended CAA against accusations of being anti-Muslim, contextualizing it within the history of partition and the plight of persecuted minorities.
He also criticized opposition leaders, including Mamata Banerjee and Asaddudin Owaisi, for politicizing the issue and claimed that they were misleading the public.
