Referring to the report in ‘The Goan’ on Thursday about BJP MLAs being worried with the Church opposing the CAA, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has said that this worry has more to do with the MLAs’ own future political prospects rather than any genuine concern for the people.
AAP Woman Cell leader Patricia Fernandes said in a press release that when all along people had been agitating in opposition to these discriminatory legislations, none of these BJP MLAs had expressed any reservations about the hardships the people would be facing in the name of proof of citizenship. She said that the sudden obsession to destroy the secular fabric of the country was in accordance with the BJP’s long-term agenda to undo Constitution of India and strike root of secularism.
“These so called Catholic BJP MLAs instead of telling their Government to side with the people even went ahead and mobilised people through the usual foul means, to attend the BJP sponsored pro-CAA rally. It’s only now when they sense danger due to involvement of priests in taking lead to rally people that they sense political trouble for them leading them to open their mouths,” said Fernandes, cautioning people to be aware of such people who have no interest of public welfare in mind.
