BJP campaign from January 1

Shimla, December 28

The BJP will launch a fortnight-long campaign to dispel apprehensions and misinformation being spread about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) .

The state working committee, which met under the chairmanship of state BJP chief Satpal Satti last night, set a target to contact 5 lakh people and explain the provisions of the CAA and NRC to allay their apprehensions and counter the misinformation campaign of the Congress and other parties.

The campaign will be launched from January 1 to expose the double face of the Congress by informing the people that how the Congress remained a mute spectator when five lakh Kashmiris were shunted out from Kashmir. Satti said the Congress was misleading the people and added that in spite of statements from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah that no citizen would lose his citizenship, the Congress and other parties were creating confusion and holding violent protests. “The Tukre Tukre Gang” is bent upon spreading the misinformation campaign and instigating the Muslims to indulge in violence and damage public property but the government would not allow it, he added. — TNS
