Home Minister Amit Shah Unveils 5.5 Lakh ‘Thank You’ Post Cards Written To PM Modi For Enacting CAA

Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s president Amit Shah on Saturday (11 January) unveiled over 5.5 lakh postcards penned down by residents of Ahmedabad to Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi expressing gratitude for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), reports Hindustan Times.

Shah also took pride in the fact that the BJP's awareness campaign in support of CAA had been registered in the prestigious Limca Book of records and World records of India.

Speaking at the gathering, Shah also attacked incumbent Rajasthan Chief Minister (CM) and senior leader of the Congress party Ashok Gehlot who had in 2006 and then again in 2009 written a letter to the Union Ministry for Home Affairs to awarding citizenship to Hindus and Sikhs who had been persecuted in Pakistan.

Shah asserted, while Gehlot had called for awarding citizenship only to the Hindus and Sikhs, the PM Modi led Government of India has brought the CAA which would also award citizenship to persecuted Parsis and Christians.
