Amend CAA to include muslims too: SAD

Chandigarh, Jan 17 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday categorically demanded the application the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 to members of the Muslim community also so that they also get the same benefits as provided to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Christian and Parsi communities under the CAA.
“The party wants the Congress not to oppose the relief given to thousands of Sikh community, as from Afghanistan, but to focus only on securing relief to the Muslims also,” said the SAD Legislature Party Leader Sharanjit Singh Dhillon.
Elaborating difference between the stand taken by the SAD and the Congress respectively on CAA on the floor of the House and later in an interaction with the media, senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia said “ There are three bottles of blood and three critical patients in a clinic, each patient needing a bottle. The SAD wants that at least three patients may be saved by giving a bottle each to them, and efforts should meanwhile be made to secure the fourth bottle.But the Congress wants that if the fourth bottle is not found, no one should be given blood and all four patients should be allowed to die. They don’t want to save Muslims; they want to let the Sikhs suffer too.” This is pathetic and ridiculous.”
