Assuring that his government in the southern state of Karnataka is committed towards protecting the rights of all the citizens without prejudice to caste, religion, creed, community or race, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Friday, urged people to stay away from “vested interests”.
“In view of the protests in certain parts of the state against the enactment of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), I make this humble appeal to every citizen of Karnataka to stay away from vested interests indulging in rumour mongering and stoking the passions to disturb peace and harmony in the state,” said Mr. Yediyurappa, in the wake of the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
Making it clear that the Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA will not affect the rights and privileges of citizens of India, he urged the citizens to come together and maintain peace and harmony.
