The Citizenship (Amendment) Act has been brought in to provide shelter and citizenship to Hindus, Jains, Christians and others who fleeing from religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. It is not meant to create any problems for the Muslims in India. Indian Muslims have nothing to fear, Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi said in Ghataprabha on Wednesday. Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh have declared themselves as Muslim countries. They are sending out non-Muslims. India needs to accommodate them, he said.
He expressed anger against those who were “misleading the country” about the CAA and other issues and were promoting violence in the name of protest. He was speaking after dedicating to the nation the newly doubled Ghataprabha-Chikkodi railway line. Any kind of violence is not acceptable, he added.
