The Drum On India

Indian Link’s PAWAN LUTHRA was a guest on ABC show The Drum to discuss the issues behind the recent sectarian violence in India.

Davender Jain wrote: Pawan Luthra’s presentation in Drum programme of ABC TV was inaccurate, misleading and nefarious. By talking all lies on CAA he had done grave harm to the reputation of his country and to Indian origin population in Australia.

Davender Jain wrote again: The discussions and contents of your violence in India was both misleading and incorrect. Reasons: - purpose of Citizenship Amendment Act is not to take away any ones citizenship but to provide refuge to Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Paris and Christians who came to India from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh before 2014 due the religious persecution there. Their numbers have steadily decreased in these countries. There are 20,000 Sikhs who ed Afghanistan as an example, and now leaving in India illegally. No Muslims will ever ea (sic) from these Islamist states to India. This was not brought out by Ms Siddique or by Mr Luthra.

- Modi has several times made it clear in Hicks public address that he wants all inclusive growth and this CAA is not targeted to take away citizenship of Muslims.

- The opposition party, namely Congress, was paying the protestors Rs 500
