Udupi, Jan 21: “The diversity that is not found anywhere else in the world, religious tolerance and culture of loving and supporting everybody is in India. The constitution of our country and its inner contents are formed in extreme planning and are commended the world over. The Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 is approved as per constitution and it is not targeted against any religious entity or group. Congress and others who oppose it and spoil peace upholding a group have indulged in propaganda against it.”
“The land of India has not come down to us from any family or clan. It is not possible to use it according to our whims or fancies. We should understand that,” clarified Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje.
