CAA rules after UP poll, hints RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat

A CORRESPONDENT

SILCHAR: The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) would be implemented after the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, hinted RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat here today.

On a five-day visit to Silchar, Bhagwat met a select group of leading citizens. A source who attended the one-and-a-half-hour meeting informed The Sentinel that Bhagwat spelt out a clear message that the Sangh was committed to accord citizenship to the religiously persecuted Hindus of three neighbouring Islamic countries – Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He said that though the CAA had been passed in the Parliament in 2019, its rules were yet to be framed. He expressed his confidence that the rules of the CAA would be framed after the UP election.

Bhagwat informed the meeting that due to the CAA, initiated by the RSS and executed by the present Modi government, turned the Bengali Hindus in the Northeast 'enemies of the people. Bhagwat reportedly claimed that the RSS was in constant touch with the government and there would be no rollback of the CAA as the Sangh was committed to accord citizenship to the religiously persecuted non-Muslims from the three neighbouring Islamic countries who sought shelter in India.

Bhagwat said that though India is a Hindu country by spirit and number, the nation faced threats from illegal infiltrators. Religious conversion was another threat, which, if not contained seriously, might bring a massive demographic change in the next thirty years, he said. Illegal infiltrators seeking the means for a livelihood should not be given jobs, he hinted and added that the practice of engaging immigrant labourers at cheaper rates should be stopped.
