CAA is not just a Congress matter but nation's issue: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru: The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) issue is not confined only to Congress. This is a matter of the country. BJP could see only Congress therefore it blames the Congress on all issues, said former Minister DK Shivakumar.
He was speaking to media persons at his Sadashiva Nagar residence on Sunday, responding to BJP leaders allegation that the Congress was responsible for the anti CAA protests.
The Congress has left the CAA issue to people. Those who are against CAA are opposing it in their own way. This issue is being discussed internationally and is being observed by many other countries and the central government has understood this, he said.
There is no question of standing by Amulya Leona in her case. Politics should be done in a limit. When it comes to nation's matters, we must give priority to the nation. It is not possible to raise slogans in support of other countries by insulting our nation. I don't even encourage it. But, we should also try to understand what that girl was going to say. Earlier I have seen her speaking on principles and values. Therefore we don't know what she was going to say. We should not hurry to come to a conclusion in this matter, opined DKS.
