From Nehru-Liaquat Pact to Rohingyas: Here are the most important takeaways from Amit Shah’s reply on CAB

On Monday night, Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke on the floor of the Parliament again in favour of the Citizenship Amendment Bill before the Parliament voted on the Bill. It was ultimately passed by the Lower House of the Parliament with 311 votes in favour and 80 against. During his speech, he again reiterated that the Bill by no means violates Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. Here are the most important takeaways from Amit Shah’s reply on the floor of the House.

The Nehru-Liaquat Pact

Home Minister again reiterated that India was partitioned on the basis of religion. Most significantly, Amit Shah brought up the Nehru-Liaquat Pact and said that only India had adhered to the resolutions adopted in the said pact. Through the pact, India and Pakistan had promised to take care of its respective religious minorities. He asserted that non-Muslims in the Islamic States of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan have to suffer immense persecution for their faith. He also said that the percentage of Hindus living in Pakistan has fallen significantly since 1947.

International Convention on Refugees

Home Minister Amit Shah also pointed out that India had not ratified any international convention on refugees and as such, international laws on refugees were not binding upon India as a sovereign country. He also said that India had never accepted any refugee policy.

On Rohingyas

Home Minister Amit Shah stated clearly that India will never ever accept Rohingyas as citizens in the country.

On Trinamool Congress

Home Minister Amit Shah also called out Abhishek Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress. He said, “Abhishek Banerjee today mentioned Tagore, Vivekananda and Bankim Babu in his statement. But could anyone at the time of Bankim Babu that in Bengal today one would have to go to court for Durga Visarjan?” Amit Shah also said that contrary to what Abhishek Banerjee claims, the CAB and the NRC are not ‘traps’. It’s a ‘trap’ only for those who wish to pursue a policy of vote-bank politics.

On the Congress Party

Amit Shah also taunted the Congress party by saying that in Kerala, it’s in an alliance with the Indian Union Muslim League and in Maharashtra, it’s allying with Shiv Sena. He had earlier reiterated the fact that the Congress party had accepted the partition of the country on a religious basis.


Amit Shah also told Shashi Tharoor that during the Congress regime, on numerous occasions, citizenship was awarded to people on the basis of religion and that was because the country itself was partitioned on the basis of religion.

Not a single illegal immigrant will remain in India

The Union Home Minister also asserted that the Modi 2.0 government will bring the Nationwide NRC and not a single illegal immigrant will be allowed to live in India.

PoK belongs to India

Amit Shah also asserted multiple times during his speech that PoK belongs to India and India considers it as its own territory that has been illegally occupied by Pakistan. Initially, he mentioned that India shares a 106 km long border with Afghanistan. When opposition leaders objected saying the border is in PoK and not in India, he asserted that if they do not consider PoK as a part of India, it is their problem.

Later, responding to Dyanidhi Maran’s allegation that the Indian government is concerned only about the land of PoK and not its people, Amit Shah stated that he does not know the reality. The Home Minister reminded him that to this day, 24 seats in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly are reserved for the representation of the people in PoK.

At the stroke of midnight, as Lok Sabha passed Citizenship Amendment Bill, ‘seculars’ can’t keep calm

At the stroke of midnight, when the world slept, the Lok Sabha passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB). Well, not really at the stroke of midnight, but you get the drift. As most savoured the moment, the self-proclaimed seculars and self-appointed custodians of the ‘secular fabric of the nation’ took to Twitter to let the world know of the ‘impending doom’ that awaits India.

People started blaming their insomnia on passing of Citizenship Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha.


Former politician turned full-time protestor Shehla Rashid had more gems up her sleeves.


Most delightful tweet. Jinnah propagated the two-nation theory and wanted a separate country for Muslims. Rashid wants those who passed the CAB to own up to it rather than ‘deflecting’ the blame on ‘imaginary characters’. One is not able to decide whether she meant Jinnah is a figment of our imagination.

Read: Jinnah sympathisers tacitly support two-nation theory under the garb of ‘secularism’, and India can’t have that

Someone then asked her if her tweet was sarcastic, because these days one can’t really be too sure. To that, Rashid said most certainly not.


Suddenly Jinnah then becomes the ‘Muslim guy’ who shouldn’t be blamed. Well, whether he is ‘imaginary character’ or just a ‘Muslim guy’ who shouldn’t be blamed, one can’t really take away the credit from him for creating the monster of a country called Pakistan.

Read: The conduct of ‘Secular’ parties on CAB shows there’s no difference between them and Muslim communal parties

Part-time actor and full-time Twitter activist Swara Bhasker tweeted how she does not want her ‘hard earned money as taxpayer’ to be spent funding this ‘bigoted NRC/CAB project’.

Bhasker is a JNU alumnus and campaigned for former JNU alumnus Kanhaiya Kumar during the 2019 general elections. Kumar was accused of chanting ‘tukde tukde’ slogans in February 2016 on Parliament attack accused terrorist Afzal Guru’s birth anniversary, proclaiming how with every Guru hanged, more Afzal Gurus will take birth to break India.

Senior journalists used the opportunity to get retweets and increase their visibility.


And some didn’t think twice before displaying their lack of general knowledge. One Twitter user who identifies herself as a journalist tried to take a dig at HM for pointing out dwindling population of minorities, especially Hindus in neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh. For that he quoted figures of Bangladesh from 1947 (India’s independence) and 2011. The Hindu (publication) journalist pointed out how Bangladesh was created in 1971.


Well, while it is indeed true that Bangladesh was ‘created’ in 1971, it was known as ‘East Pakistan’ as it was part of our not so friendly neighbour on the west. Their ignorance is embarrassing.

Saving the best for the last. Harsh Mander, who weaves web of lies to scaremonger about the NRC and Foreigners Tribunals in Assam in his free time, has decided to ‘declare himself to be Muslim’ in solidarity with Muslims and will also boycott the NRC.


One does not really know how ‘declaring’ oneself as Muslim will help Rohingyas or Pakistani Muslims who may not be given Indian citizenship. Harshuddin Mandrullah. Most enjoyable.

Watch: Home Minister Amit Shah slays Congress and Shiv Sena during the Citizenship Amendment Bill debate in Lok Sabha

Union Home Minister Amit Shah in a witty one-liner took on Congress and Shiv Sena during the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) debate in the Lok Sabha last evening. During the discussion on the CAB, the opposition parties, which claim to be ‘secular’ raised objections over the alleged lack of secularism of the CAB. Shutting them down in one single line, Shah pointed out the hypocrisy of Congress over its alleged secularism.


Shah said, “Desh ki janta ko kehna chahta hoon Congress ek aisi bin sampradayik party hai ki Kerala mein Muslim League inki partner hai aur Maharashtra mein Shiv Sena partner hai. Maine aisi bin sampradayik party mere jeevan mein nahin dekhi. I would like to tell the citizens of India that Congress is one such ‘secular’ party that in Kerala, they are partners with Muslim League and in Maharashtra, they are partners with Shiv Sena.” The hall erupted in a roar of laughter following his comment.

Indian Union Muslim League in Kerala is a state party and a major member of the opposition United Democratic Front along with the Congress. When the reports of Congress and NCP forging alliance with Shiv Sena emerged in Maharashtra following 24 October verdict, reports were doing rounds that Congress in Kerala was apprehensive of joining hands with Shiv Sena in Maharashtra as it would harm its prospects as they are partners with the Indian Union Muslim League in Kerala. They thought the alliance with Shiv Sena which perpetrates ‘toxic Hindutva’ would harm the party’s ‘secular image’. This especially when Congress’ on-again-off-again former President Rahul Gandhi is now an MP from Wayanad in Kerala as he lost his Amethi seat to BJP’s Smriti Irani in 2019 elections.

At the stroke of midnight

The Citizenship Amendment Bill was passed on the midnight between 9th and 10th December 2019, after a daylong debate. The bill, which was earlier passed by the earlier Lok Sabha but had lapsed as it could not be passed in Rajya Sabha before the 2019 general elections, was re-tabled at the lower house of the parliament on December 9. 311 MPs of Lok Sabha voted for it, while 80 voted against it in the division of votes that took place just after midnight.

Citizenship Amendment Bill passed by Lok Sabha in midnight voting

The Citizenship Amendment Bill was passed on the midnight between 9th and 10th December 2019, after a daylong debate. The bill, which was earlier passed by the earlier Lok Sabha but had lapsed as it could not be passed in Rajya Sabha before the 2019 general elections, was re-tabled at the lower house of the parliament on December 9.

The debate on the bill went on for the whole day, and the voting took place after midnight, as the Lok Sabha session continued after 12 AM to the next day. 311 MPs of Lok Sabha voted for it, while 80 voted against it in the division of votes that took place just after midnight.

The Citizenship Amendment Bill seeks to give citizenships to religiously persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. People belonging to Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Sikhs, Parsi or Christian communities from these three countries who had come to India before 2014 can apply for Indian citizenship after the bill becomes law.

The bill has received stiff opposition from opposition parties, who are saying that the bill is discriminatory against Muslims as it does not give citizenship to Muslims from the 3 countries. The bill is being opposed in Assam and other North-Eastern states also, but for a different reason. Several organisations in NE states are protesting against giving citizenship to illegal immigrants belonging to any religion as they fear that it will alter the demographic profile of the region.

Passing the bill in Lok Sabha was the easy step, but the government will face some hurdle in Rajya Sabha where it does not have majority. But still, it is expected that the bill will get the consent of the upper house also as non-NDA parties like AIADMK and BJD are expected to vote for the bill.

After spewing venom against Amit Shah, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi tears copy of CAB in Lok Sabha

After spewing venom against Amit Shah, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi tears copy of CAB in Lok Sabha

As a part of his ongoing tirade against the Central government over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), 2019, which seeks to amend the six-decade-old Citizenship Act, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that the bill is aimed at making Muslims “stateless” and will lead to another partition.

Owaisi invoked Mahatma Gandhi saying that he was called Mahatma after he tore the discriminatory citizenship card in South Africa, and then the Hyderabad MP, in a dramatic interlude, ripped the copy of the bill to highlight his protest.


This is an insult to India’s freedom-fighters, he said, accusing the BJP-led government of working to marginalise Muslims in the country.

“The bill is against the Constitution… It is a conspiracy to make Muslims stateless,” Owaisi said, questioning the government as to why it had not included countries like China, which occupies parts of India and other countries. “Are you afraid of China?” he asked.

His dramatic protest, however, invited sharp reactions from the treasury benches which described this act an “insult” to Parliament.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday tabled the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), 2019, in Lok Sabha. The amended bill seeks to grant Indian citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan escaping religious persecution there.

Since the time the Citizenship Amendment Bill has been brought up for discussion in the Lok Sabha’s winter session, the AIMIM chief has been continuing his tirade against the Modi government. Amid strong protests and sloganeering from Opposition leaders, Owaisi today compared HM Amit Shah to Hitler.

Continuing his spiteful rants against Modi government and the CAB, Owaisi asked the speaker to save the country from such a law and save the Home Minister also. ‘Otherwise, like in Nuremberg race laws and Israel’s citizenship act, Home Minister’s name will be featured with Hitler and David Ben-Gurion, said Owaisi in the Lok Sabha.

Hitting out at the central government Owaisi had recently rehashed that if CAB is implemented it “will make India Israel.”

Owaisi had earlier in another veiled attack said that the Modi government was “reviving two-nation theory” and would “dishonour our freedom fighters” if the Bill was passed.

Nobody really knows what Owaisi’s rationale is considering that India is not making any laws against its Muslim citizens. India is not obligated to give citizenship to Muslims from Islamic nations. The CAB is aimed at giving citizenship to persecuted minorities from Islamic nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Unless Owaisi believes the theory of ‘Ummah’ and that all Muslims of the world belong to the same nation based on religion, one is hard-pressed to understand this line of attack.

Meanwhile, after an intense debate on the legal and constitutional merits of the Citizenship Amendment Bill, the Lok Sabha had voted in favour of the introduction of the bill in the parliament. The proposal to introduce the bill in the parliament passed with 293 members of Lok Sabha voting Aye and 82 members voting No.

Burqa-clad unknown person throws acid on the face of a woman in Bihar’s Kaimur district

Burqa-clad unknown person throws acid on the face of a woman in Bihar’s Kaimur district

A 30-year woman sustained severe burn injuries after a burqa-clad person hurled acid on her face in the Kaimur district of Bihar on Monday. According to reports, the unknown assailant entered the woman’s house in Bhagwanpur village in Kaimur district on Sunday night and threw acid on the woman before fleeing away.

According to family members, the woman was standing near the door of her house at around 7 PM on Sunday, when suddenly an unknown person arrived and threw acid on her face. The assailant escaped even before the relatives and neighbours of the woman can tell what happened. After realising the incident, they rushed the victim to the district hospital. After preliminary treatment, the duty doctor at the hospital referred her for further treatment. One side of the face and one eye of the woman was burnt in the attack.

The police said that a probe has been launched in the case. They further mentioned that it is yet to be identified if the burqa-clad person was a male or female.

The victim has been sent to a Varanasi hospital for treatment while her relatives have neither lodged any complaint with the police so far, nor have they expressed their suspicions about the identity of the attacker.

Acid attack has been one of the most violent manifestation of brutal assaults against women. A report published a few months ago said that the acid attacks against women are on the rise in India. It said that India has the highest number of acid attacks in the world, adding that every year 300 attacks are reported in India, while many others go unreported.

Of late, the safety of women in India has become a cause of great concern as reports ranging from violent assaults against women to rapes keep trickling in. Recently, the gruesome gang-rape and murder of the 27-year-old veterinary doctor in Hyderabad galvanised the people into pondering over the plight of women in the country and measures to be adopted to enhance their security and well-being.

Controversial IAS officer makes dangerous insinuations about Supreme Court if they don’t strike down CAB

Controversial IAS officer makes dangerous insinuations about Supreme Court if they don’t strike down CAB

Kannan Gopinathan, whose claim to fame relies entirely on his resignation as an IAS officer supposedly over the abrogation of Article 370, is up to his usual tricks again. After attending an event “Decade of Dignity” organised by radical Islamic student organisation Campus Front of India, whose parent organisation is the controversial Popular Front of India (PFI), the former IAS officer now appears to be spreading insinuations regarding the Supreme Court.

Prasanna S, a liberal lawyer, told people to relax and claimed that the Citizenship Amendment Bill, which was tabled today in Lok Sabha, will be struck down by the Supreme Court of India. Responding to the tweet, Kannan replied, “Or else Supreme Court will have to be…” It’s unclear what he meant by the tweet. He then asked people to ‘fill in the dots’ before reacting.

Source: Twitter

When people pointed out that he was sounding like a dictator, Kannan replied that “It is the other kind of dictatorship”. One wonders if he is referring to the ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’, which according to Marxist philosophy, is the state of affairs in which the working class hold political power. However, as good it may sound on paper, such attempts have invariably led to genocides. Although it’s not clear what Kannan precisely meant by his tweets, the insinuations he appears to be making against the Supreme Court of the country do appear dangerous.

After Kannan submitted his resignation in light of the abrogation of Article 370, it was revealed that the officer was facing disciplinary action even before the decision to abrogate Articles 370 and 35A in Jammu and Kashmir were taken. On July 8, almost a month before the decisions on J&K, the government had issued a memorandum proposing disciplinary action against Kannan Gopinathan on several grounds. The memorandum said that the officer had been indulging in various acts of omission and commission which constitute misconduct within the meaning of rule (3) of the AIS (conduct) Rules, 1968. It said that he has indulged in act of insubordination, adoption of dilatory tactics and dereliction of duty etc.

Denial of Reality? Journalist claims India was divided on the basis of secularism, not religion

The introduction of the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 by Union Home Minister Amit Shah that seeks to provide citizenship to the persecuted Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Christians, and Buddhists barring Muslims has ruffled a few feathers from the journalism fraternity. As a new result, many a ‘secular’ journalists have started raising up false alarms and preposterous assertions to criticise the tabled Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019.


One of the grieving journalist-Shivam Vij, known for his perpetually dithering opinions, seems to have been thoroughly rattled by the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019. In stark denial of reality, Vij claimed that the partition of undivided India happened on the basis of secularism and not on the basis of religion.

Vij posted a tweet repudiating Union Home Minister’s statement that the partition of the country happened on the religious line. “Amit Shah says partition of the country happened on the basis of Religion. FALSE. It took place on the basis of secularism. One country chose secularism and one side rejected it,” Vij tweeted.

Responding to the opposition’s claim that the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 runs contrary to the principles of equality and secularism enshrined in the Constitution, Shah lambasted the Congress party for being responsible for dividing the country on the grounds of religion.

“The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill wouldn’t have been needed if the Congress had not allowed partition on basis of religion. It was the Congress that divided the country on religious lines, not us,” Shah exclaimed in the Lok Sabha during the debate on the bill.

However, Vij, known for overtly harbouring sympathies for the Congress party, quickly came to its defence, by not only turning his back on the country’s recorded history but also unabashedly distorting it.

India was divided into present India, West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) because a significant Muslim population couldn’t stand the Hindu preponderance in the undivided country. Their insecurity and apprehensions were stoked by Muslim League’s rabble-rousing leaders with the aim to drive a wedge between the two communities. The Congress party, on the other hand, utterly failed in dismantling the Muslim League’s highly communalised propaganda and preserving the country’s territorial integrity. It gave in to the Muslim League’s demand for carving out a separate and secure homeland for the nation’s Muslim majority.

Muslim League wanted a separate nation for Muslims, and the Congress party agreed to it. Therefore, the partition happened because of religion, not secularism.

While many argue that the country was divided on the religious line because of the Congress’ refusal to share power with the Muslim League, a raft of historians believe that it was Jawaharlal Nehru’s thirst for power that emboldened Jinnah in his pursuit to create Pakistan.

The partition of the country, as Shivam would have us believe did not happen on the basis of secularism. In fact, it happened, on the premise of ubiquitous religious division. Millions of Muslims migrated to Pakistan, because they wanted to live in an Islamic nation while millions of Hindus were forced to shift to India because they felt threatened to live alongside Muslim supremacists who dreamt of having a ‘purged’ land for themselves.

Read: Shivam Vij is the ‘Kachcha Nimbu’ of ThePrint that gets to bat from both sides

This inter-community antagonism stemmed from the fact that India witnessed waves of communal riots following the advent of Islamic marauders in the country. The animosity between the two communities – Hindus and Muslims – widened when these Islamic rulers, who are often hailed by liberals as paragons of secularism, sanctioned, promoted and incentivised the massacres of Hindus just because they refused to embrace Islam. Hindus remained in the subjugation of the numerically inferior Muslims until the Mughal regime ended.

In fact, one of the founding principles of Pakistan was the revival of the “Islamic Glory Days”, referring to the above period of sprawling Muslim rule over the Indian subcontinent. However, for the liberal coterie, the continued subjugation of Hindus and the hegemony of Muslims is what secularism stands for. It is for this reason that Shivam claims that Pakistan was created on the basis of secularism and not on the basis of religion.

With this denial, Shivam not only attempts to distort the history, but he also proceeds to insult the deaths of millions of people who perished because of Pakistani leaders’ two-nation theory-a demand to partition India on the basis of religion.

JNU ‘students’ march to Rashtrapati Bhavan to protest against fee hike, police lathi charge to control the unruly mob

JNU ‘students’ march to Rashtrapati Bhavan to protest against fee hike, police lathi charge to control the unruly mob

The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students who have been in loggerheads with the university administration over the draft hostel manual which mentions a marginal increase in fees along with few other changes in rules, marched towards Rashtrapati Bhavan today, seeking to meet the President over the fee hike issue.

As the unruly mob tried to cross the Bhikaji Cama Place Metro station, which was cordoned off by the police, jumping over barricades erected there, Delhi police launched lathi-charge to take control of the crowd. Television visuals showed police pushing back students who tried to jump over barricades en route the President’s house.

This morning, police had tightened security around JNU, blocking traffic on nearby roads and appealing to protesters to not resort to violence. Entry and exit points of the Udyog Bhawan, Lok Kalyan Marg and Central Secretariat Metro stations were also closed over concerns that the students may use the intra-city rail system to make their way to Rashtrapati Bhawan.

The protesting students had organised the march after the university administration rejected the student’s demand for a complete rollback of fee hike, explaining its rationale behind it, saying that the university is facing a deficit of Rs 45 crore and fee hike is necessary because of the huge electricity, water charges and the salary of contractual staff.

The “students” of JNU have continued to protest against the marginal hostel fee hike.

The students had earlier emailed their demands to President Ram Nath Kovind, demanding an immediate rollback of the proposed fee hike, resignation of the Vice-Chancellor and withdrawal of all police cases against agitating students.

In November, JNU students had marched towards the parliament chanting anti-fee hike slogans and carrying placards and posters.

Calling the partial rollback ‘cosmetic‘, the students have in the past, clashed with the police, heckled reporters, violently confined a female professor, who was roughed up and assaulted with filthy slurs during their ongoing protests. Besides, the JNU campus was mercilessly defaced by these goons.

Pro-AAP blogger Dhruv Rathee shows his ‘WhatsApp University’ credentials, claims India was not partitioned on religious grounds

Pro-AAP blogger and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee is a known peddler of fake news. In October, it was announced that he and his favourite politician Arvind Kejriwal would face trial in a defamation case after the former shared a slanderous video against a BJP supporter. There have been occasions in the past when he has attempted to expose the BJP but revealed his own biases in the process. The CAB, again, provided a golden opportunity for Dhruv Rathee to reveal his terrible knowledge of Indian history.

Dhruv Rathee first claimed that India was not partitioned on the basis of religion. It happened between a ‘Secular India and an Islamic Pakistan’ he claimed, demonstrating his complete lack of common sense and basic knowledge.

He suggested that Amit Shah was a graduate of ‘WhatsApp University’ and accused him of twisting history when, in fact, he was the one guilty of engaging in the most egregious distortion of history. Dhruv Rathee appears to have deleted the tweet from his timeline.

Soon after, Rathee tweeted another rebuttal to Amit Shah’s assertions where he claimed that he was talking like a ‘WhatsApp Graduate’. His shamelessness is only exceeded by his utter lack of integrity.


The claim that ‘Congress was against partition and tried their best’, of course, has no basis in fact. It was under their watch that the country was divided. And no amount of historical revisionism by the likes of Dhruv Rathee will absolve the party of its sins.

The attempt to demonize Hindus for the outcome when the Congress party and Gandhi had supported Islamic Nationalism and the Ummah at every step along the way is sheer hypocrisy of the highest order. But then, of course, it’s nothing less than what can be expected from a charlatan.
