Hyderabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) MP from Nizamabad, Dharmapuri Arvind, alleged that the Congress government wants to turn Telangana into a hub for illegal Rohingya migrants.
His remarks come as a response to minister Uttam Kumar Reddy’s declaration a day ago that his government will implement neither the CAA nor the NRC in the state.
“How can Uttam officially announce that the state government will not implement CAA, NRC laws enacted by the Centre?… Congress leaders are making such statements to bag minority votes…Uttam’s remarks are intended to rouse religious enmity…Congress leaders’ remarks are disrespecting the constitution,” he said, addressing a press conference at the BJP’s office on Wednesday, April 3.
He further asked if the state government plans to implement ‘Article 786’ in Telangana.
“Uttam should immediately resign from his ministership…Just because Uttam grew a beard doesn’t mean he is secular. BJP is the original secular party,” he added.
