The Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) are not Hindu-Muslim issues and will not harm India’s Muslims, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat Wednesday said.
Speaking at the launch of the book ‘Citizenship Debate Over NRC and CAA, Assam and Politics of History’ by Gauhati University professor Nanigopal Mahanta in Guwahati, Bhagwat said the CAA-NRC was “not against any citizen of India.”
According to the RSS chief, a certain section of people had lent a communal colour to the issue to derive political mileage out of it. “It’s become a Hindu-Muslim issue when it’s not even one,” he said.
