During the summit, the Union Minister sat down for a chat with Network18 MD & Group Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi. The minister shared thoughts on various topics such as CAA, NRC and the upcoming elections.

When Joshi asked the Home Minister about how he makes time for his family and maintains work-life balance, the Union Minister said, “Mai parivar ke lie samay nahi nikal sakta, parviaar mere lie samay chun ke nikal leta hai [I am not able to find time for my family, but my family takes time for me].”

He added, “To hamara balance bana rehta hai aur isme parivaar ka bada role rehta hai [So, the balance is maintained and my family plays an important role in this].”

The Home Minister also clarified that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) would not rip off an Indian’s citizenship, and the Indian Muslims need not worry about it. He further accused the opposition of spreading misconceptions about CAA for political gain ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

“The CAA won’t take anyone’s citizenship away. I am again clarifying that Muslims of this country have nothing to worry about. This was a promise made by all the stalwarts at the time of Independence. We are implementing the Liaquat–Nehru Pact,” he emphasised.
