Later in the day, terming the Shaheen Bagh protests as a symbol of ‘Islamic fanaticism’ Surya tweeted, “Shaheen Bagh is a symbol of Islamic fanaticism in the garb of constitutional secularism. While the hollow opposition is indulging in lies and slander. Narendra Modi’s government is moving forward with India’s development story.”
A protest against the CAA is going on for over 50 days at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh.
The CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014. (ANI)
