'They write secular in common minimum programme, this bill is against secularism and Article 14,' Owaisi said.
Dec 09, 2019 Outlook Web Bureau Amit Shah defended the Citizenship Amendment Bill, saying it was not against minorities but against infiltrators.
Assadudin Owaisi's remarks were expunged after the BJP members raised an objection.
AIMIM chief Owaisi said the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi land dispute was by no means 'complete justice' that the powers under Article 142 are required to be used for
