Narendra Modi ji ne, Amit Shah ji ne, bhaut acha kiya (Mr Narendra Modi and Mr Amit Shah did a great job) and the best thing is it will be implemented straight forward. It is good for the minorities and the Hindus.”
“Being a Hindu and Sanatani, it is my duty to voice for my fellow people. As a Hindu, I’ve a deep connection with Lord Hanuman and Lord Ram. People shouldn’t see this as a negative thing, everyone has a right to free speech,” he added.
The Union Home Ministry on Monday notified the rules for the CAA. “Those immigrants qualifying for citizenship under CAA will have to submit applications in an online mode, for which a web portal has been created,” an MHA spokesperson had said.
