Mangaluru: Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Ivan D’Souza on Sunday slammed Narendra Modi led BJP government at the centre for introducing laws like CAA and NRC that he alleged were the reason behid the chaos in the country.

Speaking at a massive protest rally against CAA, NRC, NPR and the recent Delhi violence, in Mangaluru, D’Souza asserted that the country had not faced similar crisis in more than 70 years after Independence. He added that the freedom struggle before the India got Independence was a similar crisis situation in the country when the people of the country were on street and were ready to sacrifice their lives to free India from the clutches of British rule.

“After India got Independence in 1947, this is for the first time the country is witnessing such crisis. Draconian laws like CAA, NRC and NPR have become the reason for the chaos in all parts of the country” D’Souza said.

He also added that these laws are not only the concern of Muslims but of every citizen who believes in the secular fabric of India. He added that participating in these protests and struggle was equal to participating in India’s freedom struggle.

Welfare Party of India's Karnataka President, Tahir Hussain who also addressed the gathering of thousands of people, attacked Union Home Minister, Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the introduction of CAA and NRC. He opined that over 44 crore people in the country were categorized as 'illeterate' and that they do not possess any document to prove their identification of citizenship. 

Hussain questioned what the government intended to do with as many as these 44 crore people of the country who are illiterate and cannot provide their documents. He also added that these laws were in violation of the Articles of the Constitution of India which forbids differentiation among the people of the country on the basis of religious lines.
