AHMEDABAD, DEC 20
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ‘pouring oil over fire’ by disgracing the on-going protests over the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) on Thursday.
On December 19, a day that saw numerous large protests against CAA and NRC across the country, BJP Gujarat secretary Pradipsinh Vaghela posted a seemingly controversial and disparaging tweet.
Though Vaghela’s tweet doesn’t mention the CAA, NRC or indeed any of the protests against them, the politician would be hard-pressed to explain what other context he could have possibly posted this in, especially given that there were several massive gatherings against the CAA-NRC on the same day, including in Gujarat.
Vaghela is also a former President of the Gujarat division of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the BJP.
