New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has failed to answer any questions related to providing employment and housing to migrants that he had raised on the newly notified Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) which will give citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
"In his statement, the Home Minister did not answer any questions raised by me but he said Kejriwal is corrupt. I am not important. I ask him - when we are not capable of giving employment to our own people, then how will we give employment and housing to refugees from Pakistan? The migration that will happen due to CAA will be bigger than what happened during the partition," Kejriwal said today.
Kejriwal maintains that with the implementation of CAA more migration will now take place than what happened after independence. He further claimed that law and order will collapse and subsequently lead to a rise in thefts, robberies, and rapes.
CAA aims to provide Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim migrants - including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians - who migrated from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and arrived in India before December 31, 2014. (with Agency inputs)
