Tactic to divert attention and foster religious polarisation: Jharkhand Congress

Jharkhand Congress president Rajesh Thakur has termed the implementation of CAA a tactic by the BJP government at the Centre to divert people’s attention and foster religious polarisation ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

Thakur said the Modi government appeared to be baffled after the Supreme Court dismissed the SBI’s request for an extension of time to disclose the details of electoral bonds to the Election Commission by March 12.

“The saffron party is in deep trouble after the Supreme Court’s order. Finding no way, it notified the CAA rules just to divert people’s mind from the issue,” Thakur said.

Thakur said the BJP wanted to create religious polarisation just ahead the Lok Sabha polls. “But, people of the country have understood the party and its stand. The CAA will not be in the interest of the country like other policies of the Modi government,” he said.
