Oppn spreading 'lies and canard' on CAA: Ram Madhav

Senior BJP leader Ram Madhav on Tuesday accused the opposition parties of spreading "lies and canard" on amended Citizenship Act and blamed the Congress for trying to "bail out Pakistan" of its terrorist activities in India.

The BJP national general secretary also castigated the rivals for taking help of lies on the CAA after failing to face Prime Minister Narendra Modi politically.

"It is a conspiracy by the opposition parties to spread lies, canard and misleading people to provoke unrest and violence in the country in the name of opposing CAA," he said at a press conference here.

The BJP leader asserted that the entire country is in support of the Prime Minister and his policies.

Coming down heavily on the Congress, Ram Madhav said "Opposition parties, particularly the Congress, have gone to the extent of attempting to give clean chit to Pakistan in the Pulwama terrorist attack incident."
Replying to a question on the Congress tweet on DSP Davinder Singh, the BJP leader said "The Congress is attempting to blame the entire security forces for the mistakes of one police man. The security personnel have completely dedicated their lives for the nation."
Asked about Kerala governments move to Supreme Court on the CAA issue, the BJP leader said "The CAA is part of the Constitution and therefore all states are duty-bound to implement it. However, they are free to move the court and we are confident that the CAA is completely legal and according to the framework of the Constitution."
