Shah also challenged former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi for a debate if the latter had read the new citizenship law.
“Rahul Baba, if you have read the law please come anywhere for a debate on it. If you haven't read the law, I can help you with an Italian translation of it, please read the law," Shah said.
