December 29: In the backdrop of ongoing protests against the amended Citizenship Act and National Population Register (NPR),the country’s ruling party, the BJP, is planning on similar gatherings in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). BJP has planned to undertake an outreach programme to rubbish the fake news and myths surrounding against CAA and NPR.

The BJP has planned more nationwide pro-CAA rallies from 5 January, 2020, to 15 January, 2020, to ‘bring about awareness over this Act’. In a meeting of senior leaders of BJP held earlier this week, it was decided that the pro-CAA campaign will be launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP Working President JP Nadda along, with 50 senior leaders of the party. The pro-CAA campaign will be undertaken in various cities of India. The party is also planning to rope in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

As per reports in a section of media, the BJP is planning on meeting three crore families during the campaign and is planning to seek around one crore letters in favour of the CAA, for which the party will reach out to various sections of society. The party has also decided that separate teams will meet intellectuals, Dalits, holy-men, minorities etc. to make them aware of the CAA.
