Mangaluru, Dec 18: MLA U T Khader urged the union and state government, not to implement National Register of Citizens (NRC) in any state as it targets Muslim community.
Addressing media here on Wednesday, December 18, U T Khader said, “Union government is targeting Muslim community by implementing Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) and it has some hidden agenda. There has been widespread agitation throughout the country and even the allies of BJP are opposing CAB as there are some drawbacks in it. The government should not go forward with the decision.”
He also said, “Government should have taken the public and expert opinion before implementing the bill. Our nation is secular. The bill needs to have some amendments, so that other community people will not have any problem. In the name of implementing CAB and NRC, BJP is targeting Muslim community.”
The Central government is involved in electoral politics. Congress united people in seven decades but BJP is destroying this unity in their short tenure. Congress closed all the connections with Pakistan but BJP on the other hand has opened communication with Pakistan. In the name of Pakistan and some sensitive issue, they secured votes and gained power, alleged U T Khader.
