Citizen Amendment Act: After the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the war of words continues between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. CM Kejriwal has responded to Amit Shah's attack on Thursday. He said that the government is unable to provide employment to its children. From where will you give jobs to the children coming from Pakistan and Bangladesh?

Arvind Kejriwal said, there is poverty in our country. Where will you bring them and settle them? There was migration after independence. Now the migration that will happen due to CAA will be bigger than that. He further said, 2.5 to 3 crore minorities live in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. There is poverty there and it is like a dream for them to get Indian citizenship. If we open the doors, where will they be accommodated? CM said that the government is saying that those who came before 2014 will be settled. So did it stop coming after 2014?

Let us tell you that CAA has been implemented in the country. Kejriwal is calling it dangerous. He said that with its implementation, a large number of infiltrators from neighboring countries will come across the country. After Arvind Kejriwal's statement, the Union Home Minister had said that Kejriwal does not know that refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are living in India. If they are so concerned then why don't they talk about Bangladeshi infiltrators? Why don't you oppose Rohingyas? Amit Shah said that Kejriwal is doing vote bank politics. He has forgotten the background of partition. He should meet the refugee families.

What answer did Kejriwal give?

Responding to Amit Shah's attack, Kejriwal said, Rohingyas came to the country after 2014. They have settled Rohingya at many places in the country. Now the infiltrators from Pakistan will be given jobs in India and will be given ration cards. He said, 72 lakh people in Delhi have ration cards and we seek permission from the central government to make more ration cards. Ration cards will be given to people coming from outside but not to the people of Delhi.

Arvind Kejriwal further said that the people of this country have paid taxes and not the people of Pakistan and Bangladesh. You want to spend the taxes of this country on the people of Pakistan and Bangladesh by bringing them here. The country will not accept this.

CM Kejriwal said, 'Pakistan will send many people to our country. Will our country be safe from this? Home Minister, don't take my words otherwise, understand my words. Look what has happened to Canada. People came there from all over the world. Now they have to stop migration. Look at the condition of London UK, what has happened.
