The protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in Assam and North-Eastern states were incited by Congress, accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Sunday.

The party (Congress) which did not get their way in Parliament supporting the violence from behind, Modi said.

“Congress and its allies are stoking fire over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act but people of the Northeast have rejected violence. Actions of the Congress prove that all decisions taken in Parliament are 1000 per cent correct,” Modi said in a rally in Jharkhand.

“Congress and their allies are creating a ruckus. They are doing arson because they did not get their way. Those who are creating violence can be identified by their clothes itself,” Modi added.

Criticising the Congress for staging a protest outside the Indian embassy in London, Modi said it is a matter of shame that the Grand Old Party is doing what Pakistan used to do.

The prime minister was referring to the protests staged by Indian Overseas Congress outside the Indian embassy to highlight the problem of unemployment, economic slowdown and farm distress in the country. The protests were streamlined by the Bharat Bachao Rally, which was led by the party’s central leadership on Saturday in New Delhi, he added.
