PM Modi implemented CAA on March 11. Union Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs, Hardeep Singh Puri took a sharp jibe at the political leaders opposing Citizenship Amendment Act. He said, “There are persecuted minorities in some of our neighbouring countries- Buddhists, Christians, Jains, Hindus, Sikhs, among others... In 1947, the population of Hindus in Pakistan was 24% which stands at 1% today. In erstwhile East Pakistan, there was a certain Hindu population but now there are just 7%. Some of these people who came to India before 2014 are being given a right. The people who are suddenly worried that these few immigrants will take away all jobs and resources need to know that our population is 140 crores and only 1000 people have registered on the portal so far. The number of people who had applied for citizenship under the Citizenship Act of 1955 is also just 4000. What is this completely distorted picture which is being presented? This is not about religion.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on February 16 addressed youths in Bihar’s Mohania and hit out at the BJP-led Central government saying that this government wants them to become contractual labourers. Rahul Gandhi has drawn a parallel between ‘Agniveer’ scheme to contractual labourers. He said, “They (Centre) don’t want to use India’s Defence Budget for the training and security of jawans...You will neither be recruited in the Army nor Railways or any Public Sector Unit. Why? The Government wants you to become contractual labourers. They have given the name 'Agniveer' but he is a contractual labourer. That is the truth. They can sack him, throw him out anytime they want, without asking him, without pension or any help.”
