Cong trying to mislead & divide people on communal lines:G Kishan Reddy on anti-CAA stir

Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy on Monday slammed the Congress party amid the unrest in the country over Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Reddy said that the Congress is misleading the minorities and trying to defame Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also appealed to the minorities to not be afraid as the Act does not have a clause against the minorities. 

Addressing the media Reddy said, "Congress ís trying to mislead. Why didn't they oppose the NPR in 2015? NPR is almost the same as the old one. Census and NPR are all the same. This NPR is also no different. We have asked for a few more details for the welfare of the people."
