Amit Shah’s statement is an attack on secular culture, he should apologise: Mehbooba

Srinagar: Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti called Amit Shah’s statement on the implementation of NRC as an “attack on secular culture of the country” and asked Shah to apologise to the people. “Language being used by Amit Shah & his men for votes in this election, isn’t right. India is a secular country. Such statements are intended to shake the country’s foundations. They are an attack on secular culture of this country. J&K had decided to join India keeping in mind its secular culture. I think Amit Shah should apologise to people of this country because the foundation of this country has been laid on secularism. It’s not only for Hindu, Sikh or Muslim, the country is for everyone,” Mufti said.
Assuring implementation of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in West Bengal, BJP president Amit Shah Thursday called illegal migrants from Bangladesh as “termites’ and promised to throw them out of West Bengal after the BJP comes to power again for a second consecutive term. The BJP stalwart, however, added that citizenship would be granted to every Hindu and Buddhist refugee.
