Nankana Sahib incident told that CAA is necessary for the country

Sushil Modi said on the citizenship law that religious minorities are persecuted in Pakistan, an example of this is the attack on a gurdwara by Muslims after the abduction and conversion of a Sikh girl in Nankana Sahib.

Modi said that Pakistan had 23 percent Hindus in 1947 and today it has reduced to less than 3.7 percent. Whereas in Bangladesh it has reduced from 22 percent to just 7.8 percent Hindus. Similarly, there were two lakh Hindu-Sikhs in Afghanistan in 1992, now there are not even 500.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) grants such minorities citizenship in India. Since independence, 3,50,000 Hindu refugees came to Bihar, who were settled in different districts of the state.
