HYDERABAD: BJP national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member GVL Narasimha Rao on Sunday alleged that the Congress party has been acting like it was an alliance partner of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), whose chairman is Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The leader was speaking at an ‘Intellectuals Meet’ organised by the BJP State unit on the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizen (NRC) in Hyderabad on Sunday. Addressing the gathering, he criticised the Congress party for sharing views with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf with regard to the CAA and NRC. He alleged that a few parties, including Congress, TMC, AIMIM, TRS and the Left, were making silly antics in the name of secularism.
“There is no chance of the government withdrawing the CAA. Once Prime Minister Narendra Modi declares anything, he will not take it back at any cost,’’ he stated. He added that no protestor died at the hands of police during CAA agitations. “They died at the hands of a few anarchic forces.” BJP State president K Laxman and BJLC leader N Ramchander Rao were present at the meeting.
