BJP leader Chandra Kumar Bose raises questions on CAA, says ‘India is open to all religions and communities’

Chandra Kumar Bose, vice-president of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) West Bengal unit has raised questions on the Citizenship Amendment Act, said, India is Open to all religions and communities

"If #CAA2019 is not related to any religion why are we stating - Hindu, Sikh, Boudha, Christians, Parsis & Jains only! Why not include #Muslims as well? Let's be transparent," tweeted Chandra Kumar Bose, a grand-nephew of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

"Don't equate India or compare it with any other nation - as it's a nation Open to all religions and communities," he said in another tweet.

The nation has witnessed massive protests across the country over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. The law aims at helping minorities from the Muslim-dominated countries of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh to get citizenship if they fled to India because of religious persecution.

Bharatiya Janata Party is facing protests not just from the opposition but also from allies like Akali Dal and Janata Dal-United.
