New Delhi : Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday slammed the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his remarks on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and said that these are people spreading lies and they stand in the favour of Rohingyas.

“These people were tortured in these three countries because they were Hindu, Jain, Sikh and India gives opportunities to such people. Is it not the moral, constitutional and cultural right of India to give them protection of citizenship through legal means?” Ravi Shankar Prasad asked.

“Kejriwal ji, how far will you go in anticipation of vote bank? Home Minister Amit Shah has repeatedly made it clear that the citizenship of any Indian citizen will not be taken away. CAA only gives citizenship to those who are persecuted based on their faith. Who are these people spreading lies? They are the ones who stand in favour of Rohingya,” he added.

Further, the BJP leader urged the opposition to stop spreading lies about CAA.
“I want to tell those trying to spread communal tension in the name of CAA, to stop. Stop telling lies. I urge the parties of south India, particularly from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, to stop spreading hatred,” Prasad said.
