PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday alleged that the BJP was following the Hindu Mahasabha’s idea of two nation idea by implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Implementing the CAA, even when the matter is pending earlier than the Supreme Court, was an try and divert consideration from the federal government’s failures, the previous chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir stated.

“This sudden urgency in its implementation despite the case being pending in honourable SC, is a desperate attempt to divert attention from its all round failures and engage people in hate politics. Appeal all communities especially Muslims not to walk into their trap,” she added.
CPI(M) chief Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami charged that the implementation of the CAA was in opposition to the essential tenets of the Constitution.
“The foundation of the Constitution and criteria for citizenship of India are irrespective of religion or creed of a person. This foundation has been grossly violated through the CAA,” he stated.
Tarigami stated whereas it was an try and divert consideration from the federal government’s failures, implementing the CAA will result in lowering the minorities to second class residents.
“It is a deliberate attempt to divert attention from the Government’s failure on governance and development fronts. They are targeting the minorities for exclusion and it will reduce the minorities to second class citizens,” he charged.
