Hitting out at the government, BSP's floor leader in Lok Sabha Ritesh Pandey on Monday said the ruling BJP is fulfilling the dreams of M A Jinnah by bringing the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) and talking about the NRC.

Participating in the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address, Pandey alleged that the BJP is spreading its "vicious ideology of dividing the country", similar to the one propagated by Pakistan founder Jinnah.

Referring to Jinnah's remarks that Hindus and Muslims can't stay together in one country, Pandey said, "Through the CAA and the NRC, the BJP is fulfilling the dreams of Jinnah."
