Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday alleged that the BJP-led Central government’s divisive agenda had weaponised the Citizenship Act, turning what was a beacon of humanity into a tool of discrimination based on religion and race through the enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
“By betraying Muslims and Sri Lankan Tamils, they sowed the seeds of division,” the Chief Minister said in a social media message.
He alleged that despite staunch opposition from democratic forces like the DMK, the CAA was passed with the support of the “BJP’s stooge, the AIADMK”.
