PM Modi is like a God for persecuted migrants, says Shivraj Chouhan

Jaipur: Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and BJP national vice president Shivraj Singh Chouhan questioned Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot over his participation in a peace march against the Citizenship Amendment Act, and said that Prime Minister Modi is like a “God” for migrants.

“The Congress-ruled states are trying to create anarchy in the country. The peace march was taken out by the Congress government in Rajasthan also aimed at the same, however, the public did not fall into its trap,” Chouhan said at a press conference here on Monday.

“Modi is like a God for the immigrants who faced religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. However, the opposition seems the least concerned with their pain”, Chouhan added.

“Under the CAA, citizenship is given to the persecuted minorities from neighbouring nations. The opposition is spreading lies. The NRC was implemented on the directions of the Supreme Court in Assam. To date, no Act has been passed for the NRC nor any Bill has been introduced in Parliament. There will be discussions before implementing the NRC,” Chouhan said. He said the BJP will start a campaign to counter the lies being spread by the opposition and will reach out to the people in the cities, towns, and villages, Chouhan added.

Taking a dig at Gehlot, Chouhan said that Rajasthan is the only state where the chief minister suspends Internet services, stops metros and buses and downs the shutters of the shops for his ‘peace march’. (IANS)
