Jamshedpur, Jan 5: Union Minister for Tribal Affairs Arjun Munda launched a door-to-door campaign in support of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on Sunday. He visited Jugsalai and also went to Refugee Colony, East Bengal Colony and Sindhi Colony in Sakchi. He interacted with members of various communities and informed them about the CAA and its importance for the country.
Addressing the people, Munda said the CAA was in the larger national interest. He said it was not designed to oust anyone from the country, rather it was enacted with the view to give shelter to minorities including Hindus, Sikhs, Parsis, Jainis and Buddhists being persecuted in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. He said those opposing CAA were provoking public anger with vested interests and ulterior motives. The anti-CAA lobby is trying to gain political advantage by misleading people and creating an environment of terror, he said.
Munda said there is need for people to be aware of their duties and the provisions of CAA. He said greater public awareness on CAA would counter the petty politics of opposition parties. No one should be perturbed by CAA, he said.
Among others present on this occasion included Rajesh Kumar Shukla, Anil Modi, Vinod Singh, Vimal Jalan, Krishna Sharma alias Kali, Prakash Joshi, Satyanarayan Agrawal, Lippu Sharma, Ajay Agrawal and Muralidhar Barnwal.
