Kejriwal claimed that if people continue to enter the nation illegally, the central government would extend the deadline from 2014 to 2019 and then again to 2024.
Digital Desk: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal criticized the Central government on Thursday and said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) would result in more than the migration that occurred after independence.
"Around 2.5 to 3 crore people identify as minorities in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Poverty is prevalent in that area. They are unemployed. They have a great desire to visit India and become citizens. Where will people settle in India, even if one or 1.5 crore come here?" Kejriwal questioned.
He was asking the question of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who had criticized the Delhi Chief Minister earlier in the day for remarks made against the CAA's implementation.
Kejriwal "lost his calm after his corruption was exposed," the Home Minister said.
Arvind Kejriwal also questioned Amit Shah a hypothetical question, namely whether or not people stopped entering India illegally after 2014.
"By enacting this law, you are putting an end to the infiltrators' fear of being expelled from the country. The message that those three countries are sending is that the Indian government is legalizing infiltrators, the Chief Minister stated.
After entering India officially or illegally before December 31, 2014, and having lived there for at least five years, the CAA facilitates the process of obtaining Indian citizenship for immigrants of Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Christian, and Parsi descent from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
Additionally, Arvind Kejriwal claimed that if people continue to enter the nation illegally, the central government would extend the deadline from 2014 to 2019 and then again to 2024.
The chief minister of Delhi went on to criticize the national government for not raising the ration cards for the city's impoverished citizens, even if they are now prepared to provide cards for immigrants.
"People from Bangladesh and Pakistan are now being brought in by the central government, who will also create their ration cards. "It is wrong to deny our country's citizens their rights while granting those of other countries," Kejriwal stated.
He continued by saying that the 140 crore citizens of the nation own the government's funds.
"While the citizens of this country have paid taxes, those in Pakistan and Bangladesh have not." You intend to bring the citizens of Bangladesh and Pakistan here with the help of our taxes. The people of our country do not tolerate this," Kejriwal saidn while asking Amit Shah to "understand" the situation.
The leader of the AAP also addressed the Home Minister's taunt regarding Rohingya refugees. Why Arvind Kejriwal does not resist the Rohingyas was the question posed by Amit Shah.
Kejriwal answered, "They had come at your time," in response. After 2014, the Rohingyas arrived in India. Did they arrive as a result of your failure or with your consent? Where have the Rohingyas made their settlements around the nation?"
In addition, the chief minister of Delhi addressed the citizens by asking the question, "Would you accept it if slums housing immigrants from Bangladesh and Pakistan were erected in front of your house? Are your daughters and daughters-in-law going to be safe? Would you feel comfortable interacting with Pakistani individuals if they were dispersed around the nation?Is the nation going to be secure? Will issues with law and order become nationwide?"
According to him, India need to take a cue from nations like the UK and Canada, which formerly welcomed immigrants from all over the world but are now turning them away as their internal crises intensify.
