A massive rally was organised by BJP at Doiwala town on Saturday in support of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Addressing the rally, the newly appointed president of state unit of BJP, Bansidhar Bhagat said that CAA has been brought to correct the mistake done by Congress during the partition of the country.
He clarified that the act talks about providing citizenship and is no way associated with taking away anyone’s citizenship.
Bhagat claimed that father of nation, Mahatma Gandhi had also talked about such a bill and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had also strongly advocated for it.
He questioned the compulsion of the Congress party under which it is now opposing CAA when their leader in the past had supported it.
The BJP leader castigated the Congress party for becoming blind in its endeavor for Muslim appeasement. It is pertinent to mention here that this was first public meeting of Bansidhar Bhagat after taking over the reins of
BJP in the state and he looked happy to see the crowd at the rally. Doiwala is the constituency of Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and too was supposed to attend the rally.
However, due to his programme to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, the CM could not attend it.
The district BJP president Shamsher Singh Pundeer, B B Gairola, K K Singhal and others also addressed the rally.
