Chitradurga: Tourism minister C T Ravi said that India is very tolerant towards Muslims and Indians have given a lot of rights to them.
Addressing queries on the pro and against protests on the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens (CAA-NRC), Ravi said, “India is very tolerant and we have given lot of rights to them. Their numbers which stood at 1.5 per cent during independence is now standing at 19 percent.”
“If we had tortured them their numbers wouldn’t have swelled,” he added.
The minister further said CAA and NRC is a humanitarian act. Hindus living in the Muslim dominated countries are suffering a lot, resulting in the decrease of the minority population, mainly in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, which is evident from the numbers given by the home minister Amit Shah in the parliament.
“Under the new CAA-NRC we are giving citizenship to the six minority communities of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, where minorities are living and where Muslims are majority,” he said.
