RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said that the CAA-NRC (Citizenship Amendment Act-National Register of Citizens) has nothing to do with Muslim citizens of India. Mohan Bhagwat said that the citizens of India had nothing to worry about the CAA and the proposed NRC exercise.
The CAA-NRC is not a law made against any Indian citizen. Muslim citizens of India will not be harmed by the CAA. Some people have made it a Hindu-Muslim issue to take political benefits. For political gains, both subjects [CAA-NRC] have been made the subject of Hindu-Muslim. It is not the subject of Hindu-Muslim,” Mohan Bhagwat said.
He was speaking at the launch of a book titled, “Citizenship Debate over NRC and CAA, Assam and the Politics of History” authored by Nani Gopal Mahanta in Guwahati. The event was also attended by Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma.
He further said that after the partition of India, the new nations had promised to take care of their respective minority communities.
