Priyank Kharge, son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, responded to the recent remarks made by the Union Home Minister regarding the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Karnataka minister and Congress leader Priyank Kharge criticized the Central government, alleging that Amit Shah is the most incompetent Home Minister in independent India. He also stated that Shah has not made a statement on the situation in Manipur and the recent Parliament security breach incident.
“Amit Shah is perhaps the most incompetent Home Minister in independent India. How come he has time to comment on CAA and watch his son administer cricket matches in Ahmedabad, but does not want to comment on Manipur or comment on the Parliament security breach issue…Instead of trying to divert the topic, he should inform us where the investigation is leading to,” Kharge said in an interview with ANI.
Earlier on Tuesday, addressing a closed-door meeting of the West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party’s social media and IT wing members, Shah said that no one can stop the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as it is the law of the land.
In a video released by BJP on social media platform X, the Union Home Minister accused the Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of misleading the refugees on the CAA issue. “Didi (Mamata Banerjee) is often misleading the refugees over CAA. Today, I say in front of you all, (that) CAA is the law of the land. No one can stop this (from implementation). Everyone is going to get citizenship,” Shah said.
He added, “This is the commitment of our party, it is the duty of every Indian to protect the honor of those who have come from neighboring countries after being religiously persecuted. It is the duty of every Indian, and this will happen.”
