Cong will unite parties against CAB, pan-India NRC: Ramesh
Guwahati, Nov 30:
The Congress would take the lead in uniting parties against the Citizenship Amendment Bill and the proposed pan-India National Register of Citizens (NRC), senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said here on Saturday.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is using diversionary tactics to shift attention from issues, like economy and unemployment. They are using the CAB and the NRC to divert the peoples' attention," said Ramesh.
"The CAB is unconstitutional and the Congress will oppose it. In Haryana and Maharashtra, people have rejected the BJP rhetoric. The BJP was also routed in West Bengal by-elections," he said.
Stating that for the BJP, the CAB and the NRC are tools to divide the society, Ramesh said the Congress would take the lead in bringing together like-minded parties in opposing the CAB and the NRC in Parliament.
