Amit Shah to address rally in Kolkata soon

| @indiablooms | 01 Mar 2020, 07:20 am

Kolkata/IBNS: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be addressing a rally at Shahid Minar in Kolkata in a short while from now.

The Union Home Minister is already in the city.

As he arrived at the Kolkata airport, he was shown black flags over the contentious citizenship bill, local TV channels reported. Oppositions also shouted 'Go Back' slogans to him.

Earlier he was present at the inauguration of 29 Special Composite Group Complex of (NSG) in Rajarhat.

Shah will be felicitated by the members of his outfit, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), for passing the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) in Parliament to make it a law.

The CAB was passed in Parliament in December, 2019, to make it Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) which aims to grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi but not Muslim refugees who came to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh due to religious persecution before 2015.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had earlier stated no microphone will be used to disturb the students during examinations.

However, the state administration has granted permission to use mics in Shah's rally which will also be attended by BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda.
