His remarks triggered a strong reaction from the opposition members. But Surya went on to praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi for resolving several critical issues that had been pending for decades. The CAA, he said, was aimed at addressing the issues that were leftover from the Partition.
"The new India cannot be built without healing the wounds of the past", he said. He reiterated what BJP politicians have been saying - that the CAA was about giving citizenship to persecuted minorities in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan and not for taking away anyone's citizenship.
"Under the leadership of PM Modi", Surya said, "several issues of the past have seen closure. These include abrogation of Article 370, construction of Ram temple, solving Bodo problems and abolition of triple talaq".
