New Delhi/IBNS: Slamming the Congress-led Opposition for its anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 protests, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said time has come to punish the tukde-tukde gang holding the rival parties responsible for the widespread violence that took place across the country in last couple of weeks.
Shah, who is also the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president, said, "The CAA was discussed in Parliament. Then nobody said anything. Outside the Parliament, they started to mislead people. Time has come to punish the Congress-led tukde-tukde gang."
The Home Minister has been slammed by various opposition parties after he made a U-turn on the National Register of Citizens (NRC) saying nothing has yet been discussed over NRC.
In an interview with ANI on Tuesday, Shah said the Centre has never discussed NRC echoing the words of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi on Sunday at a rally in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan said the central government has never discussed NRC though the Prime Minister on several occasions had earlier said the NRC will be conducted following the passage of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 (CAB) which is now an Act.
Shah had earlier repeatedly in various parts of the country and also in Parliament said the NRC will be conducted only after passing the CAB and all infiltrators will be thrown out of the country.
