Amit Shah to clear air on CAA

Hyderabad: With TRS strongly opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Population Register and National Register of Citizens, the BJP has decided to bring Union Home Minister Amit Shah to hold a public rally in Hyderabad to explain to people about the Centre's moves and clear the doubts among people.

According to BJP leaders, the public meeting would be held on March 15 at LB Stadium. The saffron party wants to make this as a big event and invite like-minded leaders like Pawan Kalyan to share the dais along with Amit Shah.

Amit Shah's speech would help in reaching out to all the non-Telugu people, the filmy charisma of Pawan Kalyan will not only help in easy mobilisation of crowds but will also help in taking the official version of the Centre on CAA, NPR and NRC to the Telugu audience effectively, the BJP feels.

It may be recalled that the TRS and AIMIM have been opposing the CAA, NPR and NRC tooth and nail. The State Government has decided to adopt a resolution opposing these moves in the State Assembly when it would meet for the Budget Session in March.

Hence, the BJP wants to organise a mammoth public meeting to counter the moves of the TRS and AIMIM. Shah is likely to dwell on the increasing threat perception from Pakistan and Bangladesh and he will also try to establish the political motives of the parties which are opposing the Centre's move to implement CAA, NPR and NRC.

The BJP feels that the opposition by some of these parties was politically motivated and there must be some other reason.
