We’re Not Kids to be Misguided’: Owaisi Responds to RSS Chief’s CAA Remarks

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks that “some people misled our Muslim brothers” on the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act drew a sharp response from AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday.

“We’re not kids to be ‘misguided’. BJP didn’t mince words about what CAA+NRC were meant to do. If it’s not about Muslims, just remove all references to religion from the law,” Owaisi wrote on Twitter.

Earlier in the day, Bhagwat, while speaking at the Sangh’s annual Vijayadashami rally in Nagpur, said the RSS is not against any particular religious community, but “some people misled our Muslim brothers” claiming it was aimed at restricting their population

There was opposition to CAA claiming it was being used to check the Muslim population in the country. In fact, no Indian citizen was threatened due to CAA,” he said. Before the issue could be discussed further, the focus shifted to coronavirus, which overshadowed all other topics, he added.

The AIMIM chief also asserted that any law with religion as the basis of citizenship will be vociferously protested IE
