NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a blistering attack on opposition parties on their attempt to “misguide and misinform” the nation on the new citizenship law.
Replying to the debate on a motion thanking the President for his address to the joint sitting of both houses of Parliament, he quoted statements made by Ram Manohar Lohia and Lal Bahadur Shastri on supporting minorities facing persecution in Pakistan.
“Is it ok to misguide and misinform the nation? Can anybody be a part of a campaign that does the same? The path being taken on CAA by many opposition parties is unfortunate,” PM Modi said.
Hitting out at the Left parties, Modi said the Kerala chief minister has warned about extremists being involved in anti-citizenship law protests in the state but Left party members were supporting similar protests in the national capital.
He said there was an attempt to cover undemocratic activity under the garb of protests against the law. He went on to say that no one is going to get politic
