CAB is attempt to ethnically cleanse NE: Rahul

December 11, 2019 10:22

Targetting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah before the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019 is introduced in Rajya Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack.

Taking to Twitter, the former Congress president wrote, ""The CAB is a attempt by Modi-Shah Govt to ethnically cleanse the North East. It is a criminal attack on the North East, their way of life and the idea of India.

I stand in solidarity with the people of the North East and am at their service."

On Tuesday, large parts of the northeast simmered with protests by students' unions and Left-democratic organisations against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, with choked roads leaving an ailing two-month-old baby dead on way to hospital.

Protesters burnt effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal.
