New Delhi:A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi allayed the apprehensions of Muslims by assuring them that they had no reason to be fearful of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday posted on social media an animated video to clear the doubts about them.
The video features two Muslims discussing the various aspects of the CAA and the NRC and focuses on the essence of the Act, which is not about taking away citizenship, instead of providing citizenship.
The Act seeks to grant citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh taking shelter in India on or before 31 December 2014 due to religious persecution there.
One man charges the opposition with engaging in spreading falsehood regarding the CAA and the NRC with an intention to incite Muslims. He also emphasises that no announcement on carrying out the NRC had been made.
