GVL Narasimha thanks Asaduddin Owaisi for singing National Anthem

Hyderabad: BJP Rajya Sabha member G.V.L. Narasimha Rao on Sunday welcomed MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi concluding his Saturday’s meeting with the National Anthem and appealing to the people to fly the National Flag at their homes.

Speaking at a meeting of intellectuals organised by the BJP on the Citizenship Amendment Act, Mr Rao said it was the BJP which had compelled Mr Owaisi to conclude the meeting with the National Anthem.

He said that the Congress was protesting against the CAA purely for its political survival. He claimed the Congress was behind the violence in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Karnataka.

Mr. Rao said that though Jawaharlal Nehru did not succeed in taking up the Citizenship Amendment  Act, the BJP had successfully brought out the legislation.

Making it clear that the BJP would not take back the Act, Mr Rao said that the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi were speaking on the lines of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on the Citizenship Amendment Act.
He alleged that Hyderabad had  become a hotbed for religious politics.
