PM: Mamata didi went from Kolkata to UN. Few years back, she was pleading before Parliament that infiltrators coming from Bangladesh should be stopped. Didi what has happened you? Why did you change? Why are you spreading rumours? Elections come and go. Why are you scared?
PM Narendra Modi: I am very confident that those who are standing with the tricolour in their hands will also raise voice against Pakistan sponsored terrorism. They will inspire people to do that.
PM Modi: 2 weeks ago, a daughter was born at Majnu-ka-tila who was named 'nagarikta'. I want to ask miscreants & people engaged in remote control politics, if lives of 'nagarikta' & her parents become easy, if problem of any citizen of country is solved, why does it pain you?
PM Narendra Modi: There is a very simple difference, an infiltrator never reveals his identity and a refugee never hides his identity. Many of these infiltrators are coming out and speaking. Why don't they speak the truth? They are scared that their reality will come out.
PM Narendra Modi: NRC came at the time of Congress. Were they sleeping then? We neither brought NRC in cabinet nor in Parliament. If we're passing a legislation to give you ownership rights, in the same session will we bring a legislation to send you out?
PM Narendra Modi, in Delhi: Congress and its friends, some urban naxals are spreading rumours that all Muslims will be sent to detention centres...Respect your education, read what is Citizenship Amendment Act and NRC. You are educated.
PM Narendra Modi: 33,000 police personnel sacrificed their lives for peace and security in country, since independence. Today, you are brutally thrashing them. When any problem arises, police don't ask your religion or caste, whatever the weather or time they are there to help you.
PM Modi on Citizenship Law: Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians all were befitted, everyone who lives here was benefitted. Why did we do this? Because we live for the love of the country. We are dedicated to the mantra of 'Sabka saath, sabka vikas'.
PM on Citizenship Law: Some political parties are spreading rumours, they are misleading people and inciting them. I want to ask them, when we authroised the unauthrosied colonies, did we ask anyone their religion? Did we ask which political party they support? Did we ask for documents from 1970, 1980?
V Muraleedharan MoS MEA on protest against CAA in Kerala: There is no opposition here, both are opposition. Chief Minister and leader of Opposition are fighting (against CAA) holding Constitutional positions.They're taking taxpayers money and agitating on roads. It's ridiculous.
Kanpur: Security tightened after the protest against Citizenship Act turned violent in Yateem Khana Police Station area yesterday. SP East says "FIR registered, 12 arrested, 15 detained. CCTV footage being checked. We are appealing people to maintain peace and not believe the rumours".
Akhilesh Yadav, ex-CM & SP leader: As far as riots are concerned, those inciting riots are sitting in the govt itself. Only those sitting in the govt will be benefitted by riots. BJP is deliberately spreading hatred, scaring people. They have failed on the front of real issues.
