Can Modi or Amit Shah Get their Marriage Certificate for CAA or NRC? – Ibrahim
Mangaluru: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are in confusion. Both do not have the knowledge in the administration of the country. Amit Shah is the advisor of the prime minister. I was the minister in the centre and have worked under two prime ministers, Deve Gowda and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. When they were the PMs, I have seen their administration very closely. But it is unfortunate that we have the Prime minister who does not know how to run the country. He does not have any advisor or any good minister to advise him. Amit Shah is the only advisor to the prime minister. Now they have implemented NRC and CAA and both are in confusion. Modi says no NRC but in the parliament, Shah says he will implement it. For NRC the passport or the Aadhar card is not valid. They need the marriage certificate of their parents and their date of birth. Can Modi and Amit Shah provide their marriage certificate for NRC? questioned former minister C M Ibrahim in a press meet held at the DCC Office, Mallikatta here on January 17.
Addressing the mediapersons C M Ibrahim said, “Whichever country has business-minded King, the citizens of that country will be beggers. The GDP of our country has fallen to 3% whereas the GDP of Bangladesh is 8%. The price of basic commodities have been hiked to over 80%. The government has no idea of how to deal with the situation. Both Shah and Modi do not know where the country is heading. Now because of the NRC and CAA, both are in confusion. I am 70 years old, from where can I get my father’s date of birth, they also ask when your father and mother were married. The NRC and CAA will not only affect the Muslims but will affect 64 crore people of this country. How the people had stood in long queues during the demonetization, the same way we need to stand in queues to provide our documents to the government. We are not against any act but why is the BJP disregarding the constitution?”
Ibrahim further said, “Our country has given shelter to people who come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. We are not against giving citizenship to the persecuted people from these countries. Advani had also migrated to India and was the deputy PM. From the past one month, I am requesting Advani to give his statement in regard to NRC and CAA but he is not opening his mouth. 6 crore youth are unemployed after completing engineering. If we speak against the government, they say we are traitors. There are 63000 names of Muslims who fought in the freedom struggle. 20% of Muslims fought during the war with China. When Bangladesh was separated from Pakistan, the Muslim community stood with Indira Gandhi and many Muslims sacrificed their lives. Are the Supreme court retired judges, Santhosh Hegde, intellectuals etc illiterates because they are fighting against NRC? People think that all the Students of Jamia Milia are Muslims but in reality, 50% of the students are Hindus. Two years ago Ananth Kumar Hegde had said that they came to power to change the constitution and now the process is on.”
Ibrahim also said, “The Dollar rate against Rs is 72 are the PM or HM speaking about it? Or does any other minister question it? Did the PM ask the advise of Mamata Banerji, Murali Manohar Joshi, Arun Shourie, Yashwant Sinha, Advani etc? The Finance Minister has no smile on her face, we did not see her smiling. In Karnataka, protests are held everywhere but the situation in Mangaluru turned worse. I came to Mangaluru but was not allowed to meet the victims family. So I went to Udupi and visited Pejawar Swamiji, later the son of Late V S Acharya took me to his house. I request the media to forget about the political party’s and save this country. The Politicians are servants for 5 years. We don’t need any post if the Sangh Parivar wants to have the MP or MLA seats let them take it, I request them not to create violence in the name of religion. I have also requested the CM to provide compensation to Jalil and Nausheen. Hope he will keep his word.”
“I am travelling across Karnataka and attending meetings. My intention is that at least some will transform and the NRC is withdrawn. One day all of us will die, instead of living as a coward we should fight for justice. Media should highlight the truth instead of hiding the reality. If Modi and Amit Shah have any concern for the people of the country they wouldn’t have demonetized the currency. Now the reserve bank says that 63% of 2000 notes are fake. Manmohan Singh had said that the country’s GDP will drop to 3% and now it is a reality. I wrote a letter to the PM to meet Manmohan Singh and take his advice to stabilize the economy but the PM wants Ambani and Adani. We struggled to develop the Mangaluru International Airport and now the airport has given to Adani. BPL made a profit of Rs 35,000 crore in 5 years but the PM is selling it to Adani for Rs 63000 crore because the Modi government has to pay Rs 10 lakh crore for interest payment and repayment of loan”, Ibrahim said.
Former Minister U T Khader, MLC Ivan D’Souza and others were also present.
