Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act will impact both Hindus and Muslims.
Responding to a question during a town hall meeting in New Delhi, Kejriwal said he appeals to the Centre with “folded hands” to roll back the “controversial legislation”.
“We don’t need this law it is completely unnecessary. Where will we accommodate two crore Hindus from Pakistan,” the chief minister said.
The Centre should first take care of its citizens and then, people from other countries, he said.
“I do not understand this legislation.The need of the hour is to provide employment to our children rather than bringing this legislation which is not needed in India,” Kejriwal said.
