Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan came under attack from Congress-led UDF on Sunday for reportedly supporting the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act, with the Opposition alleging he has stooped to the level of a BJP spokesperson.
The Governor, like the BJP, was trying to present a “distorted” version of history, the opposition front said referring to his speech at the Nehru Museum Memorial and Library in New Delhi on Saturday. Speaking on the topic of “Citizenship institutional and civilizational,” Khan had said the Congress had “committed itself in 1947 to accept” the people who have already fled Pakistan and who are likely to flee because their lives and honour were in danger.
