LUCKNOW: Taking a dig at the Centre over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act ( CAA ), Urdu poet Munawwar Rana on Tuesday asked why the government was afraid of giving citizenship to Muslims. Rana's two daughters were booked by Lucknow police on Sunday for holding anti-CAA protests at Hussainabad Clock Tower despite prohibitory orders.The district administration has booked 160 women, including two daughters of Rana, for defying the orders on Monday night. "This country has a history of upholding its values and giving shelter to the weakest. Why is the government afraid of giving citizenship to Muslims? People have been fighting for 30 years to get citizenship but failed. What 'new' this Act will do," asked Rana.Criticising Tuesday's pro-CAA rally held by home minister Amit Shah here, Rana said: "Instead of creating awareness of the new Act, they (government) are creating a divide by inviting a section of Hindus to a rally in Bangla Bazaar area of Lucknow while Muslims are protesting in Chowk."Speaking about the FIR against his daughters, Rana said: "I respect the law of the land and agree that my daughters were a part of unlawful assembly. But home minister of the country has also violated the same law. How was he allowed by police to bring lakhs of people from 16 districts? If this country is the land of Ram, Krishna, Nanak and Chisti, then sense of justice must prevail," he said.
