New Delhi, February 27: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar targeted the Congress over the incidents of violence in Delhi, saying that it was all due to misrepresentation by the leaders of Congress party. This is not a two-day violence but people have been being instigated for two months.

He said that the work of inciting people under the pretext of this law had started from there.
After this, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi said that millions will be held captive through CAA, those who do not fight will be called cowards.
Whereas former Congress president Rahul Gandhi also provoked the protesters and said that do not afraid, Congress is with you.
Javadekar said that by knowing the fact that CAA is all about giving citizenship not taking despite that deliberately create such false statements and fears.
He said that on Wednesday, Sonia Gandhi held a press conference and reached the President’s doorstep today and blaming the BJP there.
