When the entire nation is opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) holding protests and dharnas, Punjab Congress would hold a protest march against the amended act in Ludhiana on December 30, Monday.
The march will be attended by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, Punjab party affairs’ in-charge Asha Kumari, besides the state Cabinet Ministers and state Congress leaders, said Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Sunil Jakhar on Sunday while inviting the Punjabis to join this march.
The entire country is united to oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act, he said.
At the same time, Jakhar lambasted the Uttar Pradesh Government for indecent behaviour with Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi saying that it reflected the low-ebb thinking of BJP led Central Government for women in the country which worships women as goddess.
“The incident reflects hatred approach and dirty politics of the saffron party that sounds bugle of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao loudly. It is sham that all this happened under the rule of same BJP,” he said.
“Modi Government was afraid of Priyanka Gandhi as she leads the nationwide campaign against the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) passed by the NDA government to harm the spirit of our Constitution,” he added.
Jakhar also questioned the leaders of the state unit of the BJP to tell how many jobs have been provided to youth of Punjab by the Central Government or what other projects and schemes they have been brought to Punjab from Union Government.
“The Congress Government is fulfilling the promises made to the people in accordance to its election manifesto. On the other hand, the Modi Government at the Center is hiding its failures by raising emotional issues rather than solving people’s day-to-day issues, like employment, inflation, farming etc,” said Jakhar.
