NEW DELHI: BJP president Amit Shah on Sunday lashed out at the opposition parties at the renaming ceremony of Mughalsarai railway station and asked them to clear their stand on the amended OBC bill and the issue of illegal immigrants in the country."Mamata Banerjee and Congress say that NRC should not be done. I asked Rahul Baba whether NRC should be conducted in the country or not. But, he did not answer. You all should tell that whether the Bangladeshi infiltrators should be pushed out (from India) or not." Shah said."I would like to ask the SP, the BSP and the Congress whether they want the infiltrators to stay in the country or they should be driven out. I know the answer of the people of UP. The answer is that not even a single infiltrator should be allowed to stay in India," he added.At the function, which was attended by Union minister Piyush Goyal and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Adityanath, the BJP president also dared the Congress to clear its stand in the Rajya Sabha on the amended OBC bill, saying it will expose whether the party was really for the backward communities."Modi government got the OBC bill passed in the Lok Sabha. This will go to the Rajya Sabha. Will (Congress president) Rahul Gandhi clear his stand before the country that whether his party will help in the passage of the bill in the Rajya Sabha or not. This will make it clear whether the Congress was really for the welfare of the backward," Shah said.The Constitution (123rd Amendment) Bill, 2017, commonly known as OBC bill, was passed in the Lok Sabha on August 2 and will now go to the Rajya Sabha for passage.Shortly after his speech, Shah was criticized by ex-BJP stalwart, Yashwant Sinha, for his "political remarks" at the "government-funded event". The former BJP leader was not happy with Shah using the event as a platform for political campaigning.The iconic Mughalsarai railway station was today renamed as Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay railway station in the memory of the founder of the Bhartiya Jan Sangh leader whose body was found on one of its platforms in 1968.At the ceremony, Shah thanked and congratulated the Uttar Pradesh government for its development work in the city, which was also named after Deen Dyal Upadhyay in 2017.Even since Updhyay's body was found on one of its platforms in 1968, the RSS had been demanding to rename the station in its leader's memory.
