Government must initiate dialogue with protesters: Digvijaya Singh

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, terming CAA and NRC as an emotional issue, has said that the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister must initiate dialogue with the people who have been protesting against the CAA and NRC.

Sehore(MP):Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday said that the on-going country-wide protest against CAA and NRC is an 'emotional issue' and the central government must initiate dialogue with the people.

"This (the situation) has slipped out of hands of political leaders and parties as it's an emotional issue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah must speak to people on the issue," he told reports here.

The Congress Rajya Sabha MP said since Shah has already given a chronology of CAA, NPR and NRC, he along with the Prime Minister must initiate talks with the protesters.

"They must speak to the people," he said, alleging that country was being burnt by the BJP-led government.

There have been nationwide protests against the central government's move to implement the CAA and the NRC.
