Withdraw CAA Or Protesters Will Take To Streets In UP: Owaisi
Owaisi said that the Centre should consider repealing CAA in the same manner in which the three farm laws have been repealed
Mumbai: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday threatened the central government with protest if the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is not withdrawn.
While addressing a public meeting in Barabunki, he said, “I demand from the Bharatiya Janata Party government to repeal the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).”
Owaisi said that the AIMIM will take to the streets demanding a repeal of the CAA or else they will make another Shaheen Bagh in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
“If the government makes the law on the National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) then we will hit the streets again, we will make Shaheen Bagh here too. I myself would come here,” he added.
He also spoke on the repealing of three-farm laws and said that the farmers do not trust the government and will decide to stop protest only after the steps are taken in the parliament.
“The farmers do not trust the government, they say that when the Parliament starts and the bill is introduced, then we will decide,” he said.
Owaisi added that the Centre should consider repealing CAA in the same manner in which the three farm laws have been repealed.
The AIMIM Chief’s remarks have come a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Central government will repeal the three contentious farm laws as they failed to ‘convince farmers’ that has sparked almost a year of massive protests by farmers.
In the next year’s Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) will contest elections on 100 seats out of the 403 assembly seats. The party said it is in talks with other parties as well to form an alliance.
