Panaji, Feb 10: BJP Goa leader Narendra Sawaikar on Monday labelled the statement of Goa Archbishop against CAA as “divisive.”

He questioned why Archbishop is not objecting to Article 30 of the Indian constitution.

Goa Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrao on Saturday had issued a statement urging central government to immediately and unconditionally revoke the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Article 30 of the India Constitution states the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. Article 30(1) says that all minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.

“They claim all the benefit under article 30. They run their educational institutions from the money which I pay as the tax,” said the former Member of Parliament (South Goa).

“The Archbishop should also demand that Article 30 should be scrapped,” he added.

Sawaikar said that Archbishop’s statement has “no logic or rationale” and it is based on “ifs and buts.” “There is no logic why someone should oppose CAA,” he said.

“His statement is more divisive then anything,” Sawaikar added.

    Just because Archbishop did not agree with BJP, his statement is divisive. Next they will say it was anti national. You people should open your eyes and see how many people from all religions all over India oppose it.
