In a 51-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Pavan Varma said the Prime Minister’s claim the Citizenship Amendment Act “illustrates India’s centuries-old culture of acceptance, harmony, compassion and brotherhood” simply shows that Mr. Modi does not know the constitution or has not read it. He said that the Citizenship Amendment Act was “totally unacceptable”. He said the inevitable outcome of the combination of the CAA and the NRC was that only Muslims who cannot prove they are Indian citizens will be deemed illegal and deported. People of every other faith will be covered by the CAA. Muslims will be sent to detention centers and remain there. Using language that will inflame the BJP, Mr. Varma said this was reminiscent of “Nazi” behavior. Like our work? Click here to support The Wire:
