Rajnath Singh, Yogi Adityanath campaign for Citizenship Amendment Act

As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched its nationwide door-to-door awareness campaign on Sunday in a bid to gather support for the amended Citizenship Act (CAA), Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Lucknow and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur met people from different walks of life to clear the air on the issue. The 10-day campaign is expected to reach out to three crore families and the BJP leaders will tell the people “how the Congress and other Opposition parties are spreading lies about the CAA and inciting rebellion and anarchy in the country for their politics of appeasement”. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while campaigning in Lucknow, met retired Justice Khemkaran at his residence to inform him about the CAA. Rajnath Singh urged people not to believe in rumours and misinformation spread by the opposition and others. He said that some opposition parties are trying to mislead people and that the CAA will not impact any Indian citizen. “Our party has decided that we will launch a door-to-door campaign to inform people about the CAA,” he said.
