Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday slammed Congress for their wild protest against Citizenship Amendment Act.
“India is moving ahead with self-respect and dignity. This law (CAA) is not against any caste or religion. Congress is playing with the national interest,” he said.
“Congress is doing appeasement politics. Those who are talking about saving the constitution are strangulating it,” Yogi said.
He pointed out at Liaquat-Nehru Pact and claimed, “It was clear from the 1950 Liaquat -Nehru agreement that minorities will be taken care of by both the countries (India and Pakistan). This is the reason, the population of Muslims have increased by six to seven times in India while in Pakistan it has decreased,” he added.
