"It is for the first time that the nation is witnessing political parties resorting to cheap politics alleging that people in en masse would be sent to Pakistan or Bangladesh."

The CAA was enacted to give citizenship to the religiously persecuted minorities from three neighbouring countries as a humanitarian gesture to free them from living in horrible conditions for decades in these country." he said.

Further, some political parties have been propagating that they are opposed to CAA and will pass a resolution in the State Assembly. "I challenge them to show a single word in the Act which is detrimental to any Indian citizen. I also appeal to the minorities in the country not to get carried away by false propaganda," the Union Minister said.

Addressing the media here on Tuesday, the Minister while appealing to all political parties to observe restraint and not to use provocative language to instigate people leading to violence as part of their anti-CAA stand and protests.
