With the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 turning into a huge political flashpoint, Prime Minister Narendra Modi fended off the Opposition's attack on Sunday. At a rally in Delhi, the Prime Minister sought to project that the Opposition's apprehensions about the new Act were caused by their 'vote bank politics'. He claimed that the love he was receiving from Muslim nations had made the Opposition nervous about their attempts to 'fear-monger' among India's largest minority. He also said that the uproar created by the Opposition about the Act had robbed India of the chance to highlight the plight of religious minorities in Pakistan.
