Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad spoke about the CAA during an event organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad, he said that ‘India is a democratic country and has the freedom to demonstrate, but there can be no compromise with national security.
Prasad said that the government would talk to the youth and remove them if they have any confusion about the revised citizenship law, but would not talk to those who shout freedom slogans and are part of the ‘Tukde-tukde gang’. The event organized by VHP was held in honor of displaced Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians etc. who can now become citizens of India under the Citizenship Amendment Act due to religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.Union Minister Prasad tweeted a picture of the event and wrote, “In this program, I had the privilege of meeting the beloved daughter citizenship, who is the daughter of a Hindu who has suffered a religious persecution.” It was born on the day Parliament passed the Citizenship Amendment Act. Hence his family named it ‘Citizenship’.
इस कार्यक्रम में मुझे प्यारी बिटिया नागरिकता से मिलने का सौभाग्य मिला जो एक धार्मिक प्रताड़ना झेल चुके हिंदू की बेटी है। इसका जन्म उसी दिन हुआ जिस दिन संसद ने नागरिकता संशोधन क़ानून पारित किया। इस लिए इनके परिवार ने इसका नाम नागरिकता रखा। #IndiaSupportsCAA pic.twitter.com/rZvbgq42Y3

It is worth mentioning that according to the new law made by the Central Government related to citizenship, it has been said to give citizenship of India to the people of Hindu, Parsi, Christian, Buddhist and Sikh community who have been victim of religious persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. But it does not mention the Muslim sect. Since the bill was introduced into the Parliament, protests have been taking place in different parts of the country. Those opposition this law say that the government wants to discriminate religiously through this law.
