"Every Muslim got to know that nobody has to prove their nationality," BJP leader Shyam Jaju said.
"When there was talk about CAA, some political parties tried to mislead Muslim community but now every Muslim of the country has got to know that there is no need to prove anything. Nobody will be ripped off their right of vote and nationality. After realising that they will get justice only through this party, a huge number of Muslims who were present in the protest at Shaheen Bagh have joined the party today," Jaju said.
Shaheen Bagh had become the epicentre of protests and demonstrations against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The protest lasted for over 100 days and ended on March 24 of this year after Delhi Police vacated the site due to the nationwide lockdown imposed to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.
