Take back CAA too: Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind after government’s decision to scrap farm laws
New Delhi: A major Muslim organization Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind has requested the government to remove the Citizenship (Amendment) Act after the government announced that agricultural laws will be repealed.
BSP MP Kunwar Danish Ali on his official Twitter handle writes that Prime Minister Modi must also examine and remove the CAA without further delay.
The news of the repeal of the three farm rules was hailed by Jamiat President Maulana Arshad Madani, who praised the farmers for their success. Madani said that “Every attempt was made to suppress the farmers’ movement, just as it was with all other agitations in the nation.”
The CAA went into effect on January 10, 2020, after being informed on December 12, 2019. Following the passage of the CAA by Parliament, there were massive demonstrations around the country.
The CAA aims to offer Indian citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians.
