Sadhguru asks students to read Citizenship Act before protesting, but hasn’t read it himself  

Jaggi Vasudev, a Spiritual leader, has extended his support for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, but he began his statement by stating that he has “not read the Act fully”.

Sadhguru was responding to a query in one of his gatherings, when someone from the audience said that she was confused about how to interpret the Act and about the protests and turmoil it has caused across the country. The audience can not be seen in this video.

In his answer, which lasts for over twenty minutes, Sadhguru argues that India does not discriminate among its citizens on religious grounds, and cited examples of such discrimination in neighbouring Pakistan. “In my opinion, CAA is too little compassion coming too late,” he says.

“Any student can read what the CAA says, but all of them are coming and behaving like illiterate people,” he said. “They are studying in premier universities, how come they cannot read the damn Act?”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday posted this video of Sadhguru on Twitter as part of ‘India Supports CAA’ campaign.

News channel Times Now, however, did some fact-check on Sadhguru’s claims:
